One of my top 5 channels across all platforms. Absolutely refreshing to hear positive stuff coming out of Jamaica as opposed to the negative vlogs. Keep it up, I've just purchased land in St Ann. Any chance of you doing a video on the real estate potential up there? Mr Wellington you and your family deserve to be recognised for not ony uplifting the narrative on Jamaica but also doing a lot to alleviate the fears of Jamaicans I the diaspora and showing real potential and opportunities. I'm 1st generation UK born but will be making my move in the hopefully near future 💯
Beautiful property with lots of potential. Hope the right person will come along to restore it. Well done Throp for keeping us informed, as always!!.👏🏽👏🏽🇬🇧
Wow!!! This brings back incredible memories. Hello to your mom and dad from JF (downtown Montreal bartender 80's-90's) Stayed here with James Flood from Hudson before the place was even open.
Aww, I stayed there years ago. It was my first time as a tourist to Jamaica, instead of staying with family. My friends and I had a fabulous time. I hope someone lovingly restores it.
Just now came across this channel. This is fantastic content coming out of Jamaica. I appreciate it wholesomely. I didn't know there were plans to develop the Negril aerodrome to international airport status. That is a game changer for the area.
Throp, you and your family should acquire this property. You already have a vision of what could be done with it. I think you should go for it. I’m already booked to stay at Travelers in October. If you had this place I would consider staying there on a future trip.
Throp, your consistency with the uploads is really commendable. Awesome property! Hopefully it's bought by the right investors with a heart for Jamaica.
Most international investors are extracting and not helping Jamaica or Jamaicans in general. The government only caters to Europeans, Arabs and Asians so Afro Jamaicans should just stay back. In general Jamaica is a neo colonial failed state run by white and mulatto peoples locally and international.
Yo bredrin, mi like yu channel! nuff respect to yu sah! back then these people that own/owned dem place ya inna Jamaica used to get the best of Jamaica and took advantaged of di local people worst than now. I bet tru connection and being white him parents dem paid almost nuttin fi di property! I bet back then dem wouldn't even let local Jamaicans stay @ their property.
Throp that guy should pay you a consultation fee for this segment, you did an amazing job talking about the potential businesses this property could be used for….He just want to get it off his hands. Lots of potential.
I know someone who bought a 5 bedroom 2 bath one floor house recently for 4 million Jamaican dollars in an area with terrible roads in Jamaica but they are fixing it up nicely to make it there new home. The husband is a carpenter and doing most of the work himself. It's going to look beautiful.
A full-service hospital/rehab/skilled nursing/wellness facility would be great here. The health care system in Jamaica really needs improvement, not just for tourists but for the local population.
I’ve stayed at Divine Destiny a couple of times. It definitely has great potential and is in a great location. It’s outdated and needs a TOTAL Reno! It needs to be turned into a gated community.
Throp i love your content. But I would like for you to,address in details how the locals can tap into the opportunities. Not as workers, but that Afrocentric people can truly benefit from Jamaicas long term growth. What are the ups and downs......Thats very important as well.
"Afrocentric!" Jamaicans don't call themselves "Afrocentric ". We are Jamaicans of many different ethnicities blended in one people. We know we have African roots but we are also a fusion of all the different nationalities that were transported there. It makes us a people with several cultures blended into one.
@eileenwatt8283 Try telling that to the world outside of jamaica, eg America 😂😂😂😂😂. I get exactly what the brother is saying. Put on your critical thinking cap, perhaps you don't know or experience jamaica like so many of us do 🇯🇲.
A lot of Jamaicans are not focused on investing in Jamaica, they are focused on living abroad. Many who have left the island state they will never return home. We can’t have it both ways.
@@eileenwatt8283 Yet the big chain all inclusive hotels, don't want thier guests, mostly whites, who come to Jamaica, mingling with you "Out Of Many One People" because it is not "safe" for them to do so! They don't care if you're mixed up and blend up, you are black in their eyes! And yes some Jamaicans don't call themselves "Afrocentric", but they are sure willing to embrace and express their non-black lineage!!
@@anngore3842 Some Jamaicans are delusional! They want to claim every other race except their Afro part and think they are so "different" or "special". It's interesting though that the truly white Jamaicans may mingle but do not mix up with non-whites. They even send their kids away to their mother country like England, Canada etc for schooling or to live and if they stay a yaad it maybe a spoken or non-spoken code for them to not mix up or to marry non-whites! I could name some names but I won't!!
Eco tourism would be great for that property or town homes with a community coop. Not everyone wants to live on the beach which doesn't provide any land for fruit tree.
The Jamaican government, doesn't matter which party, is just horrible and deceptive! They promise that these big hotel chains would not be undermining the othe mom and pop hotels with their pricing and then turn around and let the big hotel chains do exactly that! Then to add insult to injury these big chain hotels market their resorts as being more safe, because of the all inclusive model, that in return further hurt the local hotels. So under handed! Definately some palms where greased.
For a retirement home, there must be a good hospital nearby as these will be older people. I have read horror stories about the hospitals in Jamaica. One of the reasons I haven't been back. One hospital in particular commits extortion on the people that go there.
This property would make great residences...Negril short of places to rent/live at the moment. Also..it would make a great training facility for customer service and hospitality.
Lol I wish I could. However I recently interviewed a Mobay realtor that will be up on the channel soon. If you want their contact info sooner shoot me a DM on IG @throp
Right. But how large are those NY airports, how many runways do they each have and how long are those run way…Also, Jamaica has 2 major airports. Gotta do an apples to apples comparison based on volume of flights as opposed to population size
@@Throp if the Vernamfield is built. Not against/opposed to it just wondering if it makes more sense to construct an expressway to Negril from Mobay versus building an airport that would mainly benefit tourists.
Been living in Jamaica for last 12 years. If you dont know what you are doing here you will most likely get scammed, or murdered. Safety comes first. I'd say just be careful about investing in Jamaica.

Thank you thank you. Very kind of you to say. Yes we plan on moving to different parts of the island at some point
What platform did you use to find the lot and who was your realtor if any?
Beautiful property with lots of potential. Hope the right person will come along to restore it. Well done Throp for keeping us informed, as always!!.👏🏽👏🏽🇬🇧
Thanks so much. Tons of potential indeed
A properly curated story for the reality of Jamaica, not only for locals but for the world to see. Great content 🤌🏽🇯🇲

I like this new format Winthrop.
Thank you. This is a great one
Too many international airports. Two is enough
@@CBM902Qnot enough my friend 🙏🏽not everyone wants to drive an hour from the airport for a short weekend vacation.

An airport in Negril would be a game changer.
Great segment. I like the idea of gated property, cater to retirees, there is such a need for that, have all the needs on site.

Thanks a lot man. Appreciate it 🙏🏾
Wow! We Throppers should pool together and make this happen! Don't y'all agree?
Man so many people have been saying this. I’m seriously looking into this
Im very interested in this and would love to also license and grow cannabis for tourism and wholesale which is what I do where I live
Throp that guy should pay you a consultation fee for this segment, you did an amazing job talking about the potential businesses this property could be used for….He just want to get it off his hands. Lots of potential.
Haha thanks so much. Doing it for the love of Negril. It would be great to find an investor who is community minded and looking to help build Negril
I know someone who bought a 5 bedroom 2 bath one floor house recently for 4 million Jamaican dollars in an area with terrible roads in Jamaica but they are fixing it up nicely to make it there new home. The husband is a carpenter and doing most of the work himself.
It's going to look beautiful.
That's so kool😊
USD $3M
Wow! 4mil JMD...which parish?
@@ListedInTheSouth Clarendon.
Really are you serious please check that price again because that would definitely be a I don’t know 🤷🏿♂️ 😊

It would absolutely kill as a gated community
@@Throp yup! And many of the homes would be turned in to Airbnb. Can’t lose.
Amazing property for the right investor(s). This video was so informative, even just about Negril and the tourism industry's history!!

:) awesome

Great point
Wow..today's show was so good...seeing u on the beach was really something I love to see...Negril certainly improving...really love it..
Thank you so much
Definitely feel this 10 acre can be developed into some self sustainable eco retreat and even independent villas

Negril has a brand new state of the art hospital on the beach road now
Good luck, I hope you find a good investor, a visionary with love for Jamaica.
This property would make great residences...Negril short of places to rent/live at the moment. Also..it would make a great training facility for customer service and hospitality.
Great ideas
Wow Throp this is an AWESOME property and opportunity!
Thank you SO much!
So interesting..something that we Jamaican hear and abroad are proud off...business wise... we are aware of what's going on in our country..
This is important
Stunning beautiful property
It really is
Can we get an update their progress?
I love this. Could you do a video about the development and why? That would give us insight.
I will see what I can do
I wish I had some money, I’d buy this in a heartbeat
Pfff me too. SO much potential
So much potential!
Off the top, I would buy it... Have nit even watched the full video yet. Lyndal Spirit
Wellness tourism is huge now...this property could work for that too
DEFINITELY!
I think it would be cheaper to rebuilt instead of renovate for the long run.
Not much for sale or rent in Negril?
Bingo
New subscriber here! Love your content.
Thanks so much! Welcome to the community
Great property I would love to in position to own this place
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
I need apt in mobay. Help mi😊
Lol I wish I could. However I recently interviewed a Mobay realtor that will be up on the channel soon. If you want their contact info sooner shoot me a DM on IG @throp
Keeping the dream alive, I love it
Definitely!
Is this amazing property by chance still available?
As far as I know it is still available. Please reach out via the contact information in the description
I just hope that it falls into the right hands, please.
Same same
4 major airports for a population of less than 3 million people.....NYC area has about 20 million with 3 major airports.
Right. But how large are those NY airports, how many runways do they each have and how long are those run way…Also, Jamaica has 2 major airports. Gotta do an apples to apples comparison based on volume of flights as opposed to population size
@@Throp if the Vernamfield is built. Not against/opposed to it just wondering if it makes more sense to construct an expressway to Negril from Mobay versus building an airport that would mainly benefit tourists.
@@oneilchambers1938 agreed. That is happening as well. The expansion of the airport in Negril seems to be for the ultra rich. Private jet owners
This will go quick
If i had 3Mill I'd be all over that
That's a gift that keeps on giving
Wow
Tell me about it
It’s wrecked might be cheaper to build new
That is a possible strategy that someone could take
Remodeling is going to be way too much money, demolishing it and putting a whole new concept
LL was owner
Finally my old homestead please help thank you
Throp I don’t think you should do the media run for Throp X , too many people will pop up and the real value & connection will be lost
I am very much thinking the same. I really like the community we’ve built
@@Throp yes you have built something great
I'm up for a throp collaborative investment project! 10% I can do
I’m seriously looking into it
We talking USD or JMD
Nice
Thank you!
Mistake I thought derr hoggs old property this is Joe and his partners old place ,this was an incredible place
it looks like the son is ready to take even half price
!0 acres for 3 million
Definitely a retirement home
I think that’s a great idea
negril is dying

You seem to have a lot of knowledge about scamming and murder in Jamaica. Why are u still living inJamaica then? Genuine question
@@oneilchambers1938 Im working with Interpol to arrest scammers in this country.Jamaica is infested with them.
Same all over the world, Jamaica is no different.❤
@@oneilchambers1938Oneil her experience may be different from you’res Jamaican born my self and you better not act like the situation isn’t bad here
A lot of the mayhem involves people who know each other and are involved in family squabbles.
