A Vision Between Land and Sea

There’s a moment on the north coast of Jamaica, somewhere between the undulating limestone hills and the turquoise horizon of the Caribbean, where the land exhales. The Mammee River winds its way gently toward the sea, and on its banks a new idea is taking shape — a master-planned community that seeks to blend architecture, nature, and modern living into one coherent vision.

The Mammee River Masterplan, designed and developed by China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC), is not so much a single housing development as it is a new urban organism. It unfolds across 166 acres of coastal terrain near Mammee Bay in St Ann — a region long celebrated for its lush greenery and proximity to Ocho Rios, yet still dotted with quiet, undeveloped pockets of land.
