NH International (Caribbean) Ltd., a Trinidad-based construction firm, is marking its third decade of impactful work in Saint Lucia, with three major developments currently in progress across the island. Since its initial partnership with Saint Lucia in the early 1990s, the company has been instrumental in delivering landmark infrastructure projects, including the Castries Multi-Storey Carpark, Bordelais Correctional Facility, and the Bank of Saint Lucia’s Bridge Street branch. Its early contributions also featured the construction of the Terminal Building at Hewanorra International Airport, marking one of its first ventures outside Trinidad and Tobago. Today, NH International’s portfolio spans the justice, commercial, and aviation sectors, representing hundreds of millions of dollars in investment. One of its most significant ongoing projects is the EC$143 million Halls of Justice in Castries, a landmark public sector initiative designed to centralize civil, criminal, and family courts under one roof. This project, executed under a Build-Own-Lease-Transfer (BOLT) arrangement, will see the government leasing the complex for 12 years before assuming ownership. The multi-storey facility will feature 14 courtrooms, judges’ chambers, and a law library, with NH International prioritizing the use of local subcontractors and tradespeople. Prime Minister Philip J. Pierre hailed the project as a long-overdue enhancement to the justice system. Meanwhile, in Gros Islet, Phase 1A of the Rodney Bay City Centre is underway, a mixed-use commercial development that will house Republic Bank’s northern offices, retail outlets, restaurants, and a waterfront boardwalk. The US$19.4 million project, slated for completion by mid-2025, aims to revitalize Rodney Bay as a commercial and social hub. Additionally, NH International is collaborating with Aeronav Canada to construct a new 100-foot air traffic control tower at Hewanorra International Airport, part of a broader redevelopment plan to enhance aviation safety and align with international standards. Over the past 30 years, NH International has consistently engaged local talent, providing training and employment opportunities, solidifying its role as a key foreign contractor in Saint Lucia’s development.
