The Government of Guyana, through the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA), has announced the invitation of Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from qualified developers for the design, financing, and construction of an eco-focused retirement resort in Silica City, Guyana’s first smart and sustainable city. The proposed site is located north of the Linden–Soesdyke Highway, approximately 40 kilometres (km) from Georgetown and 45km from Linden.
According to the CHPA in an advertisement published in today’s newspapers, which was also published last month, the project will span 20 acres and will cater to residents aged 60 and above, offering a sustainable and wellness-orientated living environment consistent with Silica City’s broader green vision.
The planned development will feature 40–50 individual eco-homes ranging between 500 and 600 square feet, a wellness and outpatient clinic, a community kitchen and dining hall, a community garden, renewable energy systems (including solar and wind installations), as well as native trails and a forest buffer to maintain environmental balance.
Interested developers are required to demonstrate capacity and experience in designing and developing retirement or senior-living communities, applying sustainable and low-impact spatial design, integrating smart technologies and renewable systems, and financing and delivering design–build projects.
Submissions must include certified business registration and GRA/VAT compliance, audited financial statements for the past three years, a statement of financial capacity and proposed financing, evidence of relevant project experience and technical expertise, along with a conceptual design and work programme.
The deadline for submission is November 21, 2025, and EOIs should be addressed to the Chairman, CHPA Board, 41 Brickdam & United Nations Place, Georgetown.
Silica City is the Government’s city project up the Soesdyke/Linden highway that is expected to be fully developed by 2030. President Dr Irfaan Ali had previously said that Silica City will feature 15,000 families and an emphasis on technology, wellness and environmental sustainability.
