Student Housing Project in Oranjestad: Revitalizing Main Street

Oranjestad’s Main Street is set to revive with a new student housing project, supported by government and FCCA investments.

Government’s Vision for Oranjestad’s Transformation

In a significant move towards revitalizing Oranjestad’s Main Street, the government has partnered with the FCCA to convert the former OM building into modern student housing units.

Restoration of Abandoned Buildings

The restoration of abandoned buildings is crucial to this plan, and the government, as a major property owner in the area, has taken the first steps. However, the success of this transformation hinges on private sector involvement.

FCCA’s Investment in Student Housing and Commercial Spaces

The FCCA’s initiative to convert the OM building into 19 student housing units, along with three commercial spaces, is a significant private investment of approximately 4.5 million Florins.

Details of the OM Building Conversion

This project aligns with the government’s broader vision of bringing more life to Oranjestad by increasing the number of residents and frequent visitors to the city center.

Impact on Oranjestad’s Economic Revival

This project not only provides affordable housing options for students but also aims to restore Oranjestad to its former glory, when the city center was a bustling hub of commerce and activity. The government continues to act as a catalyst for this revitalization, encouraging further private investments.
