Bermuda Builds 84 New Homes

Bermuda’s housing crisis just got a major boost as Minister Zane DeSilva announces a $64 million loan from Bermuda Commercial Bank to build 84 new homes across St. David’s and Sandys, starting this August. With government backing and flexible interest rates, the project aims to deliver 229 affordable units in 18 months — tackling the growing burden of rent that’s squeezing middle-class families. The bank, which doubled its size last year, sees this as a proud homegrown investment in community and housing stability. Meanwhile, the Minister urges faster approvals for urgent housing needs, like the recently approved capsule homes on Boaz Island — a reminder that speed matters when families are waiting for shelter.
