IN a significant move poised to redefine the construction and development sector in Guyana, the Sheriff Group of Companies is gearing up for a transformative partnership with ARCPLUS GROUP (INT’L) CO., LIMITED, and East China Architectural Design and Research Institute Co., LTD.

At the centre of this ground-breaking collaboration is the unveiling of the much-anticipated “One Guyana HighRise,” a project that holds the promise of reshaping Guyana’s architectural landscape.

In the upcoming days, the Sheriff Group of Companies is set to formalise a Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement with ARCPLUS GROUP (INT’L) CO., LIMITED, and its national counterpart, East China Architectural Design and Research Institute Co., LTD.

This pivotal agreement aims to establish a comprehensive and dynamic partnership, encompassing a range of full-process construction consulting services. Tailored agreements will be crafted for both the design and construction phases of various projects, with a spotlight on the eagerly awaited One Guyana High Rise.

Ameir Ahmad, Managing Director of Sheriff Group of Companies, expressed his enthusiasm about the imminent agreement, stating, “We are at the threshold of an exciting chapter, and this agreement holds immense potential. It is what we hope will be a successful and lasting partnership. It also aligns well with our own development and investment agenda, not to mention Guyana’s trajectory as the world’s fastest-growing economy.”

The partnership follows fruitful discussions between representatives of the two companies in Shenzhen, China. Sheriff Group of Companies was represented by Deputy CEO of Sheriff Security Inc., Divesh Ramjattan, Director of Projects Hayma Singh, and Director of Public Affairs and Community Engagement, Janelle Persaud.

“During our trip, we’ve dedicated our time to exploring architectural and construction firms in China, and we’ve successfully identified a Chinese company that aligns perfectly with our vision for the One Guyana High Rise project. We’re expected to return to China soon to formalise the agreement. Sheriff Guyana takes pride in contributing to Guyana’s development and fostering the growing relationship between Guyana and China,” expressed Singh.

Divesh Ramjattan believes that the agreement “signifies a new metamorphic attitude towards real-estate development in Guyana and marks the dawn of a transformative era in our nation’s infrastructure.”

East China Architectural Design and Research Institute Co., LTD, and its international counterpart ARCPLUS GROUP (INT’L) CO., LIMITED, have earned recognition for their involvement in the design and construction of some of the world’s tallest and most intricate structures.

The formal signing of the framework agreement is scheduled to take place in the coming weeks.

The Sheriff team’s recent visit to China, attending the China Construction Expo from November 7-9, 2023, has been deemed successful. They engaged with nearly 30 suppliers of goods and services relevant to their work in Guyana, resulting in a partnership that can solidify the vision of the group to change the infrastructural landscape of Guyana.

The China Construction Expo – Shenzhen is positioned as the preferred platform for centralised procurement for materials associated with major construction and infrastructural projects.
