The Social Security Board is presently urging qualified and experienced individuals or firms to submit proposals to provide full property management services for the Joe’s Hill Manor Estate project.
This was expressed in a media release from SSB on Monday September 6, which said the project is a housing community of 25 buildings: comprising of fifty-two residential units and one commercial space.
The development of the estate marks the beginning of the Social Security Board’s “First-time Homeowners Program”. The buildings are strategically constructed on seven-acres of hillside with views of commercial Road Town and the south coast Harbour.
Acting Director of the Social Security Board, Mrs. Jeanette Scatliffe-Boynes, said: “The fruition of this development is incredibly important to the core of SSB principles. It’s not just about building homes. It’s about creating and providing access to opportunities for those in our community. The Manor is a symbol of civic growth, and the selected property manager must operate with this image in mind”.
The SSB also revealed that the contract once issued will be for a period of three-years, and said the selected bidder is expected to manage the Estate in a comprehensive capacity: encompassing property maintenance, security acquisition and resident relations.
