^^are you aware the land The Crossings is built on is poisoned?

yes...not the extent it was before in the 80's....a bit different now.

care to shed some light into what "poisoned" would mean???

[christopherwilliams2]

well there was some issue in the past with a battery factory located nearby and some lead poisoning issue.
However, from my research it was nearer to Wallerfield / Demerara and not really that southern Tumpuna road site where the Crossings is.

the research on the area was done by my neighbour, and he has stated the area where The Crossings is, was also contaminated with lead, he said anyone with children should not consider living there

Mandalay has been around for quite a while.
i am surprised that they do not have approvals yet....it's been a while.
I guess the scale of the development means it will take some time...seeing as it is a residential and commercial activity.
But in my opinion of value for money (Mandalay $80 per sq/ft and up), more established, easier access and just overall more maturity in the area...i prefer The Crossings.

There was a viewing on Saturday, $400,000.00 per lot with financing available from Republic Bank. Also went to a viewing of The Crossings a few weeks ago but was told by a co-worker who lives in Arima that certain parts of The Crossings are affected by Arawak (smell).

If you are buying land there..if there are any lots available... they are no where near Arawak's plant....

Just bumping this up.
I'm seeing more and more houses being sold in Crossings.
Is it the lead poisoning and arawak driving people away?
Any other developments around?

That's not true at all. I live there. The land is broken into four phases of development and the last one is finished. People would have built homes on land and are selling. Including a major phase of about 25 homes built by bhagwansings. The homes are also selling quickly with the average price being 1.4. There are homes for about 1.3. So some people are cashing in on their 800k investment 4 to 5 years ago. There is just one 2 bedroom apartment type for about 890, for sale.
Also lots of these homes are for expats and when the rental period is up... A sale is possible.

The lead thing is quite over rated. It doesn't impact the residents, it's outside the development and it is more important for those that live down river south of the highway. It is contained within tons of cement and quite seriously monitored by the ema.

Lead would take a while to affect eh, what about the break-ins? have they stopped?

[brams112]

Best bet op is the classifieds,lots of property for sale all over the place,thing is the agents want to make a killing.What you can do is look at the cadastal sheet,track down the owner and offer a price close to the offed price to the owner.

[kevinknr]

The lead is not out, it is not breached, it is no where near the surface and it is no threat to the community. The community has had meetings via its management committee with the ema and independent cariri on its status. There is no leak and several steps have been put in place to ensure there isn't the remote possibility of that threat.
We haven't had one in about 2 years. Most of the homes have blink vigilance or big dogs.

Very interesting. A few concerns tho. How do we know this company is legit?

1. A non-refundable fee of $1500 is involved in the beginning. How do I know they won't take my money and I won't hear from them ever again?

2. Under their contact info, they have NO address, NO phone number. Just a form to fill out with your requests.

3. I have never heard of this company before.

[*$kїđž!™]

viewing their website and it looks impressive but yes.....no contact # and no address.......

[*$kїđž!™]

there isnt even a persons name......no office location....no phone number......?........sounds like some sort ah scam.......

[r3iXmann]

Looks like a scam. No contact info or names on website. There's also domain privacy enabled on the website name. Very suspicious
