Industrial development in the Santa Catharina area

Local | By Correspondent June 21, 2024

WILLEMSTAD - Minister Charles Cooper, along with the Urban Planning Service (ROP), has officially granted a construction permit to Thielman Global Trusted International Group B.V. (TGTI) for the construction of various industrial and commercial structures in the agricultural area. 

The project includes the construction of an office, a warehouse, a 10,000m² greenhouse, and a technical area. This is situated in Santa Catharina, near Landhuis Santa Catharina. The project features a two-story building with 255 parking spaces, and the entire construction is set to be completed by 2025. 

TGTIGROUP, together with CurHydro, envisions developing a high-level, multi-faceted agricultural facility that will create jobs, boost the economy, raise health awareness, and contribute to educational and tourism development. 

CurHydro aims to be the pioneer in bringing advanced agricultural techniques to Curaçao, significantly reducing the amount of currently imported products. CurHydro intends to offer a reliable supply of safer, less expensive, healthier, and higher quality products, enabling “Nos Yu di Tera” (Our Children of the Land) to live even longer. 

This project marks a significant contribution to the commercial and industrial growth of Curaçao, creating jobs during both the construction phases and thereafter. 

Minister Charles Cooper expressed his satisfaction with the agricultural and food security project.
