Spring is typically considered the season of renewal so it seems fitting that many countries around the world are shifting political focus to economic recovery. With the real estate market on the upswing, countries around the world, including Barbados, are due to experience a construction boom, a trend that is set to continue for the foreseeable future.
It’s not surprising that construction is expected to power the global economy over this next decade, considering the unprecedented nature of the stimulus spending on infrastructure by governments and the unleashing of excess household savings in the wake of Covid (Graham Robinson, global infrastructure and construction lead at Oxford Economics, taken from The Future of Construction: A global forecast for construction to 2030 – Marsh in partnership with Oxford Economics and Guy Carpenter).
With increased demand for property coupled with limited supply, particularly in the luxury real estate market, experts are predicting a ‘springtime construction renaissance’. This has been further fueled by the push for remote and hybrid work arrangements, allowing people to work from anywhere (check out The Rise of the Sunshine Starter Home: Snapshot of Barbados’ Luxury Property Market).
Global construction output is expected to grow by 6.6% in 2021 and 42% by 2030, driven by government stimuli and the demand for residential construction (The Future of Construction: A global forecast for construction to 2030)
In Barbados, one of the largest construction booms in the island’s history is set to commence this year. The Prime Minister has announced a series of major projects, including some that have already started, that will enhance the island’s offering and add to the overall tourism product. These include: Sagicor Estates, a retirement wellness community; the Hyatt Ziva; Sam Lord’s Castle; Discovery Bay/Royalton hotel and others. The Apes Hill Golf & Beach Club is presently undergoing an extensive, multi-million dollar renovation and is relaunching under new ownership with a mission to be “the best golfing experience in the Caribbean.” The resort will feature a state-of-the-art Titleist Performance Institute (TPI), a golf performance and teaching centre that will be the first of its kind in the Caribbean.
Alongside these projects, private residential construction is also expected to increase. Barbados is in high demand and the timing is right to consider purchasing land for development on island.
