Work on the long-stalled Sunshine Car Park in St John’s is expected to restart later this year, with plans underway to house the Antigua and Barbuda Broadcasting Service (ABS) at the site.
Minister of ICTs Melford Nicholas confirmed the update during a recent statement on ABS’s relocation, describing it as a two-phase initiative.
The first step involves a temporary move to facilities near Caribbean Cinemas, while the second will see the construction of a permanent studio within the Sunshine Hub.
Public Works officials are leading the process, and Nicholas anticipates ABS will occupy its new quarters by the end of the third quarter.
The Sunshine Car Park, acquired by the National Asset Management Company (NAMCO) in 2015, has faced years of delays due to funding constraints, structural concerns, and shifting national priorities, including the pandemic and investment in a fifth cruise ship berth.
The Cabinet agreed last October to revive the stalled project, assigning the lower floor to ABS and the ground floor of the northern section to PDV Caribe, currently based on Long Street.
Initially intended to address parking shortages in the capital, the facility has remained unused since its construction under the former United Progressive Party (UPP) administration.
Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister, Gaston Browne has criticised the previous government for poor execution, while opposition members argue the current administration has had ample time to complete the project.

Every near general election, they seem to resume work at this car park. The ABLP has no intention of finishing that car park.
How long have we been hearing this? I think the ABLP has been in power for 11 years now and we are still to this day hearing the same thing.
Yadda yadda yadda. They will never stop feeding us lies. Work on the car park is forever starting but never truly start! Some year back they started fencing it and putting the black things they put around construction sites, bringing containers and all that and yet still! My son was a third form student at Clarehall at that time! He’s a working man now.
Actions speak louder than words 👀🤫🤥😇
Using this building for anything other purposes than a carpark would be a waste since there is no where else such infrastructure can be built to supply the demand of town.
At this point ALP refuses to take the good ideas from UPP just to point and so look they failed, they strived to a state owned powerplant to not be reliant on a private owned one, they make fun of it they refuse to touch the carpark when people cry for parking when Antigua car ownership have multiples by so much something they bragged about.
Im curious of the details because, if this is actually done it would make it difficult to undo, especially when there is so many public buildings in town that have been neglected, and infected by mole. Not only that they announced a plan to reposes old buildings in town you could take those and use it for those needs
People at ABS say they supposed to move to Caribbean cinema since it open and up till today so they don’t want to get too excited
They say that every year and more close to elections but for the sake of our raided treasury, I hope it’s true. I also hope that no personal enrichments emerge from it’s completion.
Lol thay carport again.
We need accountability this time because it sounds pretty much like some kind of skulduggery is already happening.
Lets go ABLP show UPP how its done lol
