63 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 9, ISSUE 7 Dr. Bahadoorsingh’s family has been in real estate development for more than 50 years, and in every one of those years - built and will continue to do so until the Brentwood and Brookhaven developments are finished. The demand for housing in Trinidad is a great one and so to, services that make communities thrive. The country needs about 250,000 more homes for everyone to be satisfied, and that can’t be done overnight. So, there is a constant backlog in the provision of houses. The biggest challenge right now for Caribbean Housing Limited is to accelerate progress in Trinidad. “We have 21st and 22nd century goals” says Dr. Bahadoorsingh, “One has to develop certain methodologies in order to get all our approvals, etc. We have been able to do well, in that regard…” Looking ahead, the future for Caribbean Housing Limited is full of opportunities. Dr. Bahadoorsingh shares, “In the extension of the shopping center, perhaps one section of it could be a hotel. Subject to the demand, we’re going to have some office buildings here”. “We know that God is a Trinidadian, through his passport, and he’s always on our side, so three to five years down the road, I would like to see that the country is blessed with a tremendous oil and gas find. For many years, we were one of the largest exporters of liquefied natural gas, after the U.S., but our gas production has gone down somewhat, while gas prices have gone up – mainly because of the issues in Ukraine and Europe. Trinidad has a business relationship with Venezuela with respect to a very large gas find between the two countries. When that materializes, with oil and gas at the premium they are at now, well, then, the sky’s the limit.” 1-868-242-2337 | www.tilewarehouse.tt 61 Lime Head Rd, Chase Village, Chaguanas l e y r h e Fab looks for your bathroom accessories LVT Vinyl Flooring Wide assortment of tiles Affordable bathroom sets Sole Distributor of PPG Paints TRINIDAD & TOBAGO 165 Western Main Road, St James Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago Telephone: +1 868 628 3045 BARBADOS Babco Complex, Chelston St. Michael, Barbados Telephone: +1 246 233 6050 CAR I BBEAN HOUS ING L IMI TED
