The 27-storey building, being developed by Stratosphere Development Limited, will be situated at 1B Oxford Road in St Andrew and will be called ‘The Ascent at the Oxford, Sheer Luxury.’

In an instagram post, StudioOH Core Limited highlighted that the historic building will have “multiple storeys of luxury” including a five-star hotel with first world amenities and attractions available for residential and premium commercial use.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to work with our client in making this pioneering project a reality,” the Jamaican firm said in the post.

The first phase of construction of the building is expected to begin February and upon completion will become the tallest building in the Caribbean, the developers said.

Dr Roland Rose of New York Drill – the team building the foundation – outlined that the construction will also provide Jamaicans with numerous job opportunities.

“This will be a major attraction for tourism and other industries. It will include observatory floors, swimming pools, museum, helicopter pads, and not to mention employment for the skilled and the unskilled,” said Rose.
