The Pinnacle will be Jamaica's architectural luxury real estate marvel. It will boast the four tallest buildings not only in Jamaica but in the Caribbean standing tall with four 28 story towers. I had the chance to speak with both the sales and marketing leader, Dominique Silvera, and the lead architect on the project, Isiah Madden. Their stories on joining the project are incredible and they are ultimately the right people for the job. One of the unique aspects of The Pinnacle is the leadership team. It is an all female all Jamaican leadership team. In this interview I explore this in detail. I also had a chance to meet the CEO of The Pinnacle, Yangsen Li, who joined us on the site tour. This was a really great one that I enjoyed putting together for you

Dubai of the Caribbean is already started.
Jamaicans * come invest because foreigners seeing the opportunities clearly.
Thank you for saying so because most jamaican overseas only speak bad about jamaica right now their are price out of jamaica
Don't compare jamaica to Dubai. Jamaica isn't pretentious lol
@@JKAnu-yq1trtroll 🤡
@@JKAnu-yq1tr' of the Caribbean
@@JKAnu-yq1tr😂😂depending on what the objective is!
These Jamaican young ladies make me really very proud of them. They are leading the road for future young women. 🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations 💯🎉🎉
As a Jamaican I would love for them to help the poor areas they need to rebuild their.
Unfortunately, there is not enough return on their investment for the banks backing the project. This is the state of capitalism, unfortunately.
Every developer is sloey focused on rich people no regular Jamaicans will ever live in these places
@@ShaunPhillipslimitlessfxSo profit comes before people?
What's stopping you?
Development all around but people still complain. This is not waving a magic wand and wallah and everything in place. Smh
Things like these Will help encourage Jamaicans to stay and build. It will also offer hope for those abroad who want to return at some point in their lives.
Exactly. My wife and I would be interested in something like this. We're about 5 years away from retirement here in the UK.
Not even your pension can afford this. Too much greed in the world. We are starting to have earthquakes.
Go to the ghetto and rebuild give them hope too
@@gbrown9694 you can't afford it
Wow, wow. What a project at the right time. So proud to be a jamaican right now.
You will not benefit from this
After serving my time in the navy, I have decided to return to Jamaica. I just heard about this project and immediately I called in for more information. I am interested in this project and a two bedroom preferably ocean view. I am extremely proud of the architect; a job well done.
great decision my fellow sister I hope our brothers and sisters in the diaspora is taking notes I'm also on the island after almost 30 years away and the amount of developments that's taking place is amazing!!
Amazing. I have 3 more years left in my contract as an HM and I plan on buying a property or two in Jamaica before I leave the service
@@JevaughnMintojaybirdmyunto Hi Jevaughn! My name is Kanya and I am a sales executive at The Pinnacle. That's wonderful news! I would love to help you get started on acquiring one of the units. Please feel free to call or stop by our sales office
They are not building these for you.
@@JevaughnMintojaybirdmyunto congratulations! Thanks for serving!!! Are you in Norfolk?
Jamaicans needs to wise up everyone else seeing the beauty of jamaica
Same suh bredda.
@@donovanhendricks6815rubbish. The problem with a lot of you Jamaican who see things in this way. Is because you're narrow-minded.
A very deep and insightful statement which drives to the heart of the current state of Jamaican development. Thank you for your contribution, I really learnt a lot.
The problem is that most Jamaicans are very money-obsessed. Because of that, they become impatient with money. Which leads some to robbery. Jamaica doesn't have a creative mind society. Very few, the majority or not. People tend to do the same as everyone else. For example, taxi. The average Jamaican thinks of buying cars on hire purchase to run taxis which is very competitive in the country. No one did think about an island-wide coach service which is very effective in Jamaica. It takes people from overseas to go Jamaica and do different businesses which the locals never thought of doing. This tells that Jamaica society is not very creative thinking with cleverness behind the creativity. There are so many ways people could be earning in the country. However, people are lacking ideas and instant money-making. Put in the interest and the passion behind whatever the business is then the money will follow behind.
Jamaica to the world❤️❤️❤️🇯🇲🇯🇲
I was looking for a comment like this. 🙂 I love my people!! Peace and love to all. Let us come together in love. Jamaica is definitely the place to retire.
This is awesome!! Love Jamaica my home this continues to put us on the map!!
indeed
Awesome video Throp!Jamaica is moving forward in a positive way 🙌🏿👏🏽👏🏽🇬🇧
How?
thank you so much!
@@Moko_Bomoiare you blind are mad ?
This is amazing!!!! More so the black Jamaican female architect on the project. A very good look for Jamaica. What we need know is for the government to invest in the education needed so that we have less workers coming from China and more Jamaican workers on these projects!
Or send dem go China to study engineering and come back into secure high paying guaranteed job. They already have agreement with China who sponsors Jamaicans to study over there for free 🤷🏼♀️
THE MONEY IS THEIR , THE CRIMINAL MINISTERS NEED TO STOP STEALING THE, TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS
@@BYZNIZ
Is that a open question????
Actually the government is doing that step by step
As the tax intake goes up. there will be more money to upgrade those things. And you said where will the money come from...
From project like the pinnacle taxes from the the workers and from the business .
And many similar projects like it that already exist or to come.
As young people get educated here, they migrate to work elsewhere, especially the skilled trades. I feel like we will never get the benefit of the investment in education
Please, please, please...do not use the term "Black.Jamaican woman"... say "a Jamican female architect"...omit the word "BLACK"
Next level investment for the island.The Chinese deserve their credit for helping to build jamaica.Big up all the ladies on the project, looking forward to seeing the finished product..👏🏿
The head of the contracting company funding this project is a Jamaican-Chinese
thanks for watching!
I’m impressed, this is heavy weight stuff. Proud of those Ladies, proud to be Jamaican. Big up Mr Li for his vision.
Greetings Throp family hailing from NY this is amazing thank you Throp I am so proud to be apart of this emerging developing time of our loving country Jamaica the land we love.
Jamaica is on the move.
it definitely is
@@Throp The JA Government first need to reduce poverty and crime and improve the quality of life for Jamaicans also fix the local roads. Sad to note that Jamaica is still the second poorest island in the Caribbean Haiti #. One the main challenges of foreign investment is that it can lead to the exploitation of country's natural resources and labor force.
@@robertobrien8420Jamaicans need to come together and help fight crime. A lot of poor people in Jamaica, don't want to work, they're waiting on handouts.
Another Emmy worthy presentation, my brotha Throp 🙌 🙏 👏
thank you so much my man
Fully endorse this comment, as I was just about to mention something in the same light! Well done, Trop! We should all be excited about this project. There are so many spin-offs to be added from its development and success. Too many to account for!
As a son of the soil, that of Montego Bay, living in the diaspora, it's a pleasure to see great infrastructural projects like these unraveling in my home. Still ways to go socially, political and economically, but hey, the frameworks are in place, so full speed ahead my side!
thanks so much @@f_a_reid86
Jamaica is trending in a positive direction. We must work together to achieve greatness. Future looks bright!
Absolutely! 💪🏾
It will take all of us to build Jamaica,white ,brown,asians ,love this
well said
Yes, yes 🙂🧡
exactly!! too many still hold race at the forefront of their mind
Out of many one people thats it one people
Black people are allowed to have something for themselves
Throp, thanks for this awesome video. This would certainly put Jamaica on the map. My brother live over there and he told me if I don't invest in Jamaica now, I would not afford it later on.
He could certainly be right. This is going to be a awesome development once completed.
thanks so much. I think it is a sound investment to consider
Your brother is right.Sir P said it .jamaican get a piece of real estate even if u don't think u want to live in ja.thank u thorp
Where exactly in Montego Bay is this development taking place?
@@delroyday8925 It's actually on Reading main road, coming from the airport it is located on the right. I grew up on that side, it's overall a lovely and peaceful space.
This is truly Iconic for Jamaica, we are the pinnacle of the Caribbean!
Big up the team: (Investors, Architect, and Marketing.
I am so proud to come from a country (Jamaica) where it was instilled in me and also demonstrated by my great grandmother, who raised me, that I can do anything I put my mind to and work towards. As a black Jamaican woman living in the USA this early childhood development propelled me to grow and develop personally, academically and professionally.
Thank you, Throp, for bringing this very interesting project and video to us 😊
You’re welcome!
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the making of this video. Thanks to the investors too, who have the vision. I am so proud of Jamaica 🇯🇲.
I do hope that I have the opportunity to purchase a unit in one of the 1st 2 buildings.
thanks for watching!
Excellent production.
thank you so much
Everything needs to be black owned, black innovated and black protected. We need collaboration and unity as *CARIBBEAN x AFRICA* 🖤❤️💛💚
The Caribbean is not black continent (or whatever it is)
The Caribbean was colonised by white Europeans from the indigenous Indian tribes. Slaves (of black African descent)were transported to the Caribbean to ‘work’
Somewhere between the ending of the Caribbean slave trade or just before, Indians and Chinese came over, were given land (for free) and continued the work of the slaves for payment (and free land)
Because of this history, the Caribbean is racially diverse. It doesn’t belong to black people. It doesn’t belong to anyone.
Africa is a completely different subject.
Blacks are unable to organize, look throughout history then get into your feelings after.
It's 3 chines men behind the development .
@@richardgomes4332 that’s why we need change from these modern colonisers
@kimkomplains1485 thank you for the history lesson. Outsider don't know much about this history.
My Jamaica my Jamaica 🇯🇲 I see that. Long. Time a go
Congratulations ladies on the confidence entrusted, ..... you can get the job done 🇧🇧
they definitely will
We have some a beautiful people from Jamaica. I love my iland . All we need more is more bbn love God's living in us .❤
Thanks for watching
This is great, Love it please remember to make accomodation for the persons who will work there, the helpers and housekeepers etc. otherwise you run the risk of creating a squatter community.
good point. thanks for watching
@@Throp @throp Excellent job mate. Thanks for shearing
U6😊@@apadesi
Loved every moment of this. My heart's set on the 5000+ sqft Penthouse suite. I was considering something similar in Miami, but a brand new (newbran) penthouse would be extremely desirable in my own home town of Montego Bay, overlooking the Caribbean sea and the bonny Hills of Bogue. Can't wait.
Im VERY curious how anyone believes that drilling that many large holes , that deep adjacent to a sanctuary will NOT disturb it. Ecosystems are very diverse and fragile.
As a female Construction Manager in the UK, I’m really happy to see an example of women leading in development projects in Jamaica.
One thing about Caribbean women, we really know how to forge our own path through adversity and force change, globally actually.
Ms. Isiaa Madden work very hard, she comes along way. Congrats to her.
Maybe you could open a school for women in Jamaica someday ❤
Construction management...it would be better if she was the owner.
As a Jamaican ,I'm so proud of the direction Jamaica is going. I left Jamaica 13 years ago and got the opportunity to manage the building of skyscrapers in North East America it makes me so proud.
Wow it is a huge development and three Jamaican women are at the top of the construction, it is amazing to see the women power of Jamaica 🇯🇲, it is a blessing for all of Jamaica 🇯🇲 little girls to know that they can be what they want to be.
Awwww, this is so very special. Thanks to the Chinese visionaries and to the all female team that is making this a reality for Montego Bay, God bless and congratulations. So excited as my daughter is a budding Architect and Isiya gave me great insight into who my daughter is becoming😁 since my daughter has been atudying Architecture for the past 6 years I truly appreciate the amazingness of this field- it is so much more than designing a beautiful building rather you have to incorpate all the environmental features and the people into the design. It is such a kind and giving field, wheb done within the full essence of the discipline. Goid luck to the team- this is history unfolding and as a Montegonian myself mi proud bukkk😁👏
I very proud of the female Jamaican Architect ❤❤❤
I sat and watched every minute of this video…..thanks a lot for sharing this .
🙏🏾🙏🏾 you’re welcome. Thank you for watching
Thank you, Throp. This is next level. You know your average subscriber, 50’s living in the diaspora. I’m first generation American Jamaican but this could be a second home. Blessings 🙏🏾
you're very welcome. thanks so much for watching
My heart is elated, I cannot wait until this project is complete, I need to find away to be apart of this project, even if its just to pick up rubbish. I am giving myself 3yrs before moving back to JA. I was waiting for Jamaica to do something this great, So excited for all involved, and power to the ladies, may God continue to strengthen you though this project. I will continue to say it, Throp, love your contents. Great Job.
I agree, these buildings are geared toward high level income or wealthy people, they will offer jobs but ur income might still not be able to take care of ur expense of living. I noticed everything is expensive homes and hotel which the average person can't afford.
my thoughts exactly. I am betting these are in the millions ..
So be motivated and strive not to be average and stop mopping. What are you doing or trying to be able to afford one of these?
There are affordable homes NHT or build your own. Buy what you can afford! There are different level homes in every society/country!
@@SebastienVonHalen Why is it that some Jamaican are so concern about what avrage people can afford. Average people are all over the world, who cannot afford highend stuff. I think it's this grudgefull badmind attitude, which is more common to those people with a socialist/communist ideals in Jamaica!!!
Look at that. I remember like 3yrs back, saying 🇯🇲 need a iconic structure, similar to those countries. I actually said "make something like a replica of a iPhone,to standout". When its all said and done 🇯🇲 alongside its Caribbean neighbors proved Women can lead..salute!
Big up Thorp. You forever bring first world content..
This was really a wonderful episode. It does change the mindset of how investors will view Jamaica. Overall, there is an increase in the real estate values across the island which bodes well for all property owners.
Thanks so much for watching!
I am in Los Angeles and very excited about this project!!
thanks so much for watching
Great interview Throp...Keep bringing the awesomely amazing Jamaican content. 1💜ve to the chosen children of the MOST HIGH YAH...Keep shining fam...☮💜🙏
Extremely excited and proud of our local team on this historic project.
absolutely! thanks for watching
Great work Throp...what an exciting prospect for Jamaica.
thank you so much
I would love to understand the water pressure needed to rise so high in those four pinnacle.
I love this idea but I hope some hospitals are in the making too. Jamaica needs better healthcare facilities
They're building and upgrading hospitals. Research it!!
Big changes in progress for hospitals in Jamaica
Thanks Trop, you are doing wonders allowing Jamaicans at home and abroad to be able to see what's going on in our beautiful island 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
My vision is for Jamaicans/Afrikans/Black people to invest hundreds of millions in building the best, world class, accommodations, attractions, and communities in the Carribean and Afrika that will create generational wealth for Black families and people. It ia very important that we are the drivers of our greatest developments. Others can assist but we must be at helm, being the driving forces in developing our countries.
Throp, thanks so much for doing this update on Jamaica Pinnacles. Exciting times for Jamaica. Also, thanks for all you do 🙏🏼👍🏼
you're very welcome. thank you for watching
I am so proud of everyone! Thank you for the Pinnacle Project! I cannot wait to see the four Towers when they are completed! 😀
Excellent presentation Throp, one of your best in both production & the depth of the information. The Pinnacle is truly groundbreaking and attractively designed.
I appreciated ALL the interviews and was particularly thrilled to learn about the architect's EXTENSIVE impact on North Coast construction. I knew of the projects mentioned (like the massive Princess) but had no idea Isiaa had a hand in so many! No wonder she exudes such quiet confidence. It's a great legacy, especially being a Montegonian herself.
It also demonstrates the role of investment in providing opportunities for Jamaican professionals. She wouldn't have designed all those RIUs if RIU hadn't come. And clearly RIU desired an authentic Jamaican touch for the design of their Jamaican resorts, so they sought a local architect.
WHAT AN AMAZING PROJECT 👏 😍...I AM SO PROUD OF THESE GREAT JAMAICAN WOMEN!!!!...GOOD TO SEE THE VISION OF THE CHINESE IN THIS PROJECT....🎉🎉.
to the world
Well done, jamaica is progressing..let’s maintain the pace. Will definitely be making my purchase.
well said
I want to move back to jamaica now I'm sooo proud of my jamaican people
Great story. I have stayed at RIU Ocho Rios several times and never knew a Jamaican woman was a chief architect for these hotels. Just pride.
Me too😊 several times
This is great but let’s get straight to the price of these units!!!!!
This isn’t just a game changer for Montego Bay but also Jamaica ❤❤! Throp again thanks for your outstanding coverage ❤
Big game changer!
This will truly be a game changer for Jamaica. Wish I could afford a unit in this Historic Project. If not this life maybe in my next incarnation.
I would love to own one of those units! Currently thinking of retiring in Jamaica and researching where to live! Then I saw this video 😊
First time hearing about this...wow, this is magnificent in so many ways. I can just imagine the impact that this will have on future construction projects on the island. More importantly the impact it will have on future generations of Jamaican girls.
This was an amazing presentation. By far the best I've seen since hearing about this project. This very exciting. I am also happy that the Chinese team chose Jamaicans to work on the project. Great video.
Yes Sasha Forrester, I totally agree that the inner cities are in dire need of attention. All these new developments are strictly for the rich. However hats off to the architect Ms. Madden and our Jamaican black female heading the project, so very proud of you, such an inspiration to all black female Jamaican women especially.
Well done Throp, I had some misconception about this project. Thanks for the clarification, I was concerned about the mangroves, but the architect addressed my concerns.👊🏽👍🏽👍🏽
The thing I don't understand is how they invest so much into real estate but not medical.. "OH if you get sick, fly to Miami".. Smh
Hey. Who are the "they" you are referring to?
We the people need to build our infrastructure with the taxes from these investors.
Are you blind too see four hospital been built at the moment plus countless community health centers been built and refurbished you don’t know of them right or you jus don’t care and feel to jus write some you don’t do any research in
Why doesn't anybody mention the children's hospital that will be the largest in the Caribbean now being constructed in mobay? Btw it was a gift from the Chinese to Jamaica, the Cornwall regional is undergoing massive renovation currently, Spanish town is getting a huge hospital also, I only hear people complaining with every new development that's taking place smh. I agree the medical sector needs a lot of attention but things are happening, not as fast as we would like but if you pay attention things are happening.
Imo its no easy or profitable atm for large scale private hospital. Most wont be able to aford it. Remember a single MRI machine can run $500,000 usd. It will happen eventually tho
Yes! HU YOU KNOW! Love to see a Jamaican woman representing Howard University (my alma mater). I am a Washington, D.C. native who moved to Portland, Jamaica last year. I am so excited by the progress that I am witnessing. I may "consider" a move to Montego Bay. My Portie people would be under vexation. Dwl! Up!
So happy for the investors ❤and Jamaica 🇯🇲
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
There’s something about Jamaica that makes us separate n apart … that unexplained feeling when that sun hits your face … the food the music the rhythm and vibes you feel like no where else… on the new project I can see people are looking out into seeing there children and children’s children… that’s something my mom talks about… we own land in NE Manchester that should never be sold … I hope my kids will take care of things after we become late .. I love this vision for my country… kudos
I totally agree.👍
Throp, your production quality and highlighting of various new projects makes the program super exciting to watch.
the key to the success of this project is how well ;how effective the Chinese technology is in stabilizing the foundations of those 28 story buildings on what seems to be a sand bank......
Piles aren’t specifically Chinese, they are a standard structural engineering feature which are secured to the bedrock wayyyyy below and sand and soil. The taller the building, the deeper / frequently placed the piles will be.
They’ve not mentioned it but, the tower will have been designed to withstand particular degrees of wind & tectonic movement.
You’re not wrong, I’d add, the key to design, engineering and construction success is the quality assurance process and delivery.
if you go to China and see where they build things - it is no surprise. Just like the highways. Their topography is even more complex.
Wonderful Interview with the developer, people, responsible for this construction. They are nice people as well. Thank you for doing this! Wishing you love and happiness -Sphere
Thanks so much
This is so inspiring! Really good job on your interview and diving deep into the meaning behind the project and the allstar female leadership 👌🏾
I have been a subscriber since the grassroots days on this channel....Winthrop is the perfect interviewer for this project. So proud to be a subscriber....
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Absolutely awesome. Jamaica has talent.
Look at my people wow Jamaica woman
making moves
I'll be following this project, black women, on the rise!!!
Don’t start that black woman shit
so exciting!
Thank you Throp,awesome video. Thank you, Mr.Yangsen, for bringing your investments and visions to reality for our beautiful country 🇯🇲. It's awesome to see three beautiful women at the helm of this project, they are setting the foundation for our future up and coming little girls who will dear to break the patriarchal glass ceilings. The only drawback is; the Jamaicans will not be able to afford this luxury property,even those in the diaspora. Its geared towards the affluent class. Nonetheless,it wiil avail more jobs. Btw,as a suggesti, they should consider building a health facility on the property and work out the logistics to include Practitioners at a cost,rather than having to fly out.
Bravo - love to see it! All Jamaican female leadership team and an excellent interview. Well done Throp.
thanks so much
Good to hear that health care is being taken into consideration alongside this awesome project
I was happy to hear this as well
I’m moving back home this year! Love the energy our country is on. Great video 🎉
Ok Throp Media. This is very professional content as usual. Keep it coming.
Thank you so much!
As an Jamaican born emerging developer in the US, these ladies are giving such inspiration to continue on this journey to break barriers. I am so proud. Love it. Congratulations 👏🎉
This is the pinnacle of your interviews, Throp. At least, it certainly feels like it. Excellent interview!
I am very proud of my Jamaican sisters ❤ What a beauty to be enjoyed by many . What a magnificent beauty . I'll definitely visit this place on my next vacation from the USA.
Wow this is beyond my dreams. Jamaica 🇯🇲 is really on a good path to development. Highways and High Rises . Love the work u doing in getting these videos out.
highways and high rises. I like that
Excellent video and interviews! Amazing project! Congratulations to the entire Pinnacle team. This is truly a game changer for Jamaica.
thanks so much for watching!
Beautiful. Throp you have out done yourself with this video. ❤❤🇯🇲🙏🏾
Brilliant development and brilliant production and interview Throp! Thank you for the effort you and your team put into this!
WOW.. This is awesome. So proud of the entire team, and for our beautiful Jamaica. Can't wait to see the finished product. 🎉🇯🇲🇯🇲🤩
thanks so much for watching
Right now, I am proud to be a Jamaican. A lot of good things going on there.
it's very exciting times for Jamaica
Great development. Mr yangsen li has a Jamaican accent lol.
he is Jamaican-Chinese
But the white Jamaican lady sounds American, I like how the architect still has her accent although she went to University in Washington. 😊
@@IamLeighton he's been in Jamaica 18 years. So it's not his native tongue
Awesome!! 👏🏾Thanks Throp ❤️🙏🏽!
A giant step for all. Excellent project. Thumbs up.
Oh wow 😲 amazing ladies, thorp great interview breath taking makes me so proud to be a Jamaican living abroad. This will be a great project for everyone to enjoy including myself . New subscriber ❤😊
Great clientele question Throp. I am glad you asked that very relevant question.
I love it! Jamaica is building up its infrastructure. Well needed to bring wealth to Jamaica.
You go ladies! Wish you the best!🎉😊 Well done again Throp,👍
Prices start at over £300000.
How do you know about the prices.
These investments will definitely let Jamaican abroad come back home for retirement! Jamaica is a very beautiful country that was lacking opportunity for Jamaicans, with such investment we actually have something to look forward to in the future.
