SHETTY HOSPITAL HOTEL

Hotels and residential developments will accompany the construction of the Shetty Hospital on the 600-acre High Rock site in East End, which, according to project director Gene Thompson, has been finally secured. Previous owner of the High Rock site and copartner in the project Joe Imparato told iNews yesterday that the project master plan included a range of
ancillary developments. “Oh, yes, we are planning hotels and residential developments, all in concert with the master plan for the rest of the Shetty Hospital,” he said. “We have a few more pieces of the puzzle to get into place first, but it is going to happen,” Mr Imparato claimed, saying it had garnered support from “both sides of the political spectrum”. Announcing the land acquisition yesterday, Mr Thompson said
survey work and initial drawings had started on the complex, but spokesman David Legge could only estimate when groundbreaking might begin on the $2 billion, 15year project. “Groundbreaking will be into the new year, and probably in the second quarter,” he told iNews. The start of the project had initially been scheduled for October this year, but was delayed for reasons that remain unclear.
