Looking great.thank for the update. I am really looking forward to seeing the development of silica city and the railway expansion development along the east coast.
This hotel has transformed this area of GT into modernization. Interesting to see how much of the sidewalk was developed for use by the hotel. Makes you wonder where is the property line wrt the road reserve? Some areas of GT with narrow streets may face the challenge of parking space. The increased number of vehicles in GT already causing some congestion? Welcome to oil wealth.
The logistics of civil engineering construction in Guyana. Maybe good for young upcoming engineers. The Demerara cable stayed bridge is also a good study. Amazing how they are working around the clock to meet their deadline. What we have to understand is that materials and parts are manufactured and fabricated in China and shipped to Guyana. The proposed new resort by the seawall will be partly owned by Arab countries and we may see different architecture and building materials I think. With regards to sewage treatment of these modern hotels, we should understand that there is going to be a septic tank somewhere around the property. The GT city eventually pump out these tanks when they are filled up with sludge (I think) Between the Government and the GT and other municipalities, they have to make the cities function well with whatever infrastructure is existing. When questions are raised on the new "silica city", let the urban planners address what modern infrastructure is proposed. Bear in mind, residents of modern cities have to pay property taxes to maintain modern systems. Let's go GT.....let's see some mighty sky scrapers.

Sir, Thank you for bringing to us in the diaspora, the fast- paced infrastructure developments in Guyana. I have viewed some of your videos. This development is not just because of ' oil money"(compare Venezuela, and some African oil rich countries). The development we see in Guyana, not just infrastructure, but in all services-health, housing, water, food, hospitality are all due to strategic planning, and being smart. I lived in the New Haven/ Belair estate area, and I saw you visited the neighborhood twice. You showed Dr. Jagan's home. Can you please show us former President's Hoyte's home on North Road. Also former President Burnham's in Belfield. Thank you.
This development is only possible because of oil money. If not then it would have started since 1992. However it only started after money from oil sales was deposited in our sovereign wealth fund which is located at the federal reserve bank of New York. That is how logic thinking works.
Sir, Having oil money can only transcend to the mega infrastructure projects, building new hospitals, houses, and improving all services in the country by strategic planning, and being smart. If we were to spend it on demerara riverside condominiums, and reclaiming the Atlantic seashore land to build hotels ,giving the population money in their pockets as some are proposing, then that would not be logical thinking. To build a country you have to improve the living standards of the populace- infrastructure, housing, utilities, medical care schooling etc. In this way you create more jobs, and therefore wealth of the people ( not handing out money).You have to earn it.
You are incorrect. The thing you suggested would not be logical are the same things being done in other successful countries like Dubai UAE and Singapore. And giving money to citizens is exactly what American and Canada did during the pandemic. It’s called economic stimulus. Please understanding that there is nothing smarter about lying and corruption which our government does.
@@RaphaelNation Sir, I am not incorrect, but would prefer not to debate with you any further. You would not want to admit, or would prefer to overlook certain facts that are clear to the entire World about Guyanese politics. Guyana is in a better place now, and it is not only because of oil money, but also strategic thinking and good governance. The other side of the coin has always pushed us back, and without any progress, even with oil money. Do you think you can pull off those projects you are proposing 1) Smart City in Plaisance where sewage will be removed on a daily basis. 2) Leasing an aircraft to take tourists from around the World to famous destinations 3) Your online store selling everything guyanese. Wish you luck.
@@user-fw3tp8jg3i the other side signed the oil contract which brought us 4.5 billion dollars so far. This government opposed it. That is how bad at strategic thinking they are. I am happy to talk about strategic planning for Guyana in the light of our current oil industry. In fact I will make a video specifically about this so you understand how strategy works. And what good strategy looks like.
No not yet. We have to wait till construction is completed to know whether they are building a swimming pool in the area that seems to be a parking lot under construction.
Raphael, you showed us this hotel so many times aren't you going to show us anything else? 😅 The entire Robb st needs rehabilitation. With sideways etc etc..... a big fancy hotel and look at the surroundings. Smh! 😢
It’s a metaphor for what’s happening in Guyana. It is not a government of Guyana project like the Georgetown Marriott. It is underwritten by GBTI which is the bank at which the Beharry group owns a majority stake. And it’s built by Chinese contractors. It’s a case study for my hypothesis that independent private business will be entirely responsible for building anything of quality in Guyana. That is my case for quitting the faculty of the university of Guyana and building a private university called the Georgetown biomedical university.
@@RaphaelNation got ya. Go by red road providence . I think another big hotel going up there . And don't forget to give us a review of P.F CHANG'S RESTAURANT on high street kingston. Thanks buddy. You are doing a fantastic job. 👏
That’s the responsibility of the useless, PNC controlled city council. He likes to rag on the government which is firing on all cylinders, rebuilding the country while saying nothing about his useless comrades!
@@ianbynoe6515Why is he explaining anything to a fool and dunce like you? You, probably, isn’t even financially in a position to build a chicken coop or a pig pen, but spend everyday on CZcams criticizing everything and anything. Complaining is the only contribution that doing in this life like if your complaining is going to change anything or make a difference in what these people do.
I think that the government should do a beautification and development program from the Guyana international airport to the city of George town. I would like your opinion on this
Amazing how we see all these big buildings going up and guess what, the Govt can not get the water problem cleared up, why can't the people of Georgetown get 24 hours reliable clean drinking water, by 10 pm water cut off, during the day you get brown water to drink and wash your clothes, I would appreciate if you can do a video of our drinking water from our pipes, it's been decades Guyanese at home experiencing dirty drinking water, low pressure, WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THAT SITUATION..?
I agree. I would love to know what's happening with basics like water and current. Brown water is not a good look. What about the power grid is it being improved to provide stable electricity throughout Georgetown. Are certain areas given priority when it comes to making sure there is clean water no sewage back ups, stable electricity? I'm also curious about the cost of solar panels, how expensive is it there?
Is it safe to drive in Guuyana during the day, are traffic lights working, is there chaos driving on Regent st, when will the people of Guyana investigate the VP allege corruption charges leveled at him, what is going on with the gold smuggling from Guyana, is that part of development, what about corruption in the police force, is that development too, why do Guyanese accept bad Governance, is it because they lack education....?
Corruption is tied to political power. All Guyanese do not accept corruption. Those who vote for corrupt politicians accept corruption because they believe that they benefit.
Driving is not safe and pedestrians do not seem to have the right of way. There needs to be more cross walks and strategic planning and psa about safe driving. Like not speeding or drunk driving. Pedestrian cannot be hit and mowed down like animals. The risk of dying on the road is far to high. My personal experience has been twice a mini van has tried to plow into us and did not seem to want to stop but rather looked to serve than stop. And an actual motorcycle smashing into our car because he was looking backwards while driving and gaffing with the man riding with him on the bike..smh
@@dominiqueallums-farley6704 this is also the result of corruption because the police do not enforce the law or accept bribes or sell driver’s licenses.

Nice!
Thanks for sharing this update.
This adds to the development of Georgetown.
The building has a modern facade. The color scheme also blended nicely into the immediate surroundings.
This hotel has transformed this area of GT into modernization.

It’s because the place is filled with a culture of corruption
