Kaieteur News – Former Jamaica and West Indies cricketer Marlon Samuels has joined the TAJ DIAMOND community-a privately-owned community located along the East Bank Demerara corridor between Diamond and Buzz Bee Dam.

Samuels joined as a resident and investor, TAJ Diamond said in a press release. Samuels, known widely as “The ICON,” has secured seven homes within the upscale development one as his personal residence and six intended as part of a broader rental investment strategy, the release added.

TAJ DIAMOND is a newly unveiled planned community located along the East Bank Corridor between Diamond and Buzz Bee Dam. The project is being positioned as a modern, luxury-driven real estate initiative that redefines urban development in Guyana.

Samuels’ multi-home purchase signals growing investor confidence in the country’s booming real estate sector.

“I’ve traveled the world thanks to cricket, and I can say with confidence that Guyana is poised for something big,” said Samuels.
He added, “After decades of playing cricket, my favorite hotel in the world is the Taj Mahal in India. So after learning about the TAJ DIAMOND project, I truly believe it showcases Guyana’s beauty and excellence. I’ve been coming to Guyana for a long time and truly, I can say that there’s no project like this one. As I like to say, it’s iconic.”

The TAJ DIAMOND project launched publicly earlier this month with an initial early bird price of US$250,000 per home. With land clearing and mobilization already completed, infrastructure and vertical construction are set to begin soon. Prices have since increased to US$300,000 due to robust demand, and over 10% of the units have already been reserved. The first set of homes is expected to be delivered in the final quarter of 2025.

The community will include 249 three-story luxury homes, each featuring private two-car garages. Additional amenities will include gated access with 24/7 armed security, a clubhouse, resort-style pool, cinema, fitness center, and a 40,000-square-foot retail and dining area anchored by Morton’s The Steakhouse and other premium brands. TAJ DIAMOND also offers buyers an optional fixed 14% yield leaseback program, with full-service property management for passive income.

Nicola Mola, the lead developer for the Guyana project, said, “We’re very pleased that Marlon Samuels, THE ICON, has chosen TAJ DIAMOND as both a resident and investor. His involvement adds energy, visibility, and validation to what’s quickly becoming one of Guyana’s most transformative communities. Stay tuned, more exciting announcements are on the way.” The development is being led by U.S.-based firm Coastal Rim Properties, which brings over five decades of global real estate experience to the local market.

Business development support is being provided by the ACE Consulting Group. Interested buyers and investors can learn more at www.tajguyana.com or contact the sales team at sales@tajguyana.com.
