Construction  of the New Building Society’s head office on North Road and Avenue of the Republic is  underway.  The NBS, one of Guyana’s leading mortgage financial institution, was established in 1940 with the objective of providing persons with the opportunity of owning their own homes at an affordable cost.  The new edifice is being constructed by BK International Inc at a cost of some $700M.
