The HCL Group of Companies proudly unveiled yet another of its quality communities, The Crossings at Santa Rosa West, Arima on Thursday November 23. On hand to celebrate the occasion was the Mayor of Arima Adrian Cabralis, His Excellency Ambassador Plenipotentiary, Jerry Narace along with representatives of the Ministry of Planning and Development, Tunapuna/Piarco Regional Corporation, Santa Rosa Carib Community and religious leaders.

As the country’s leading developer, HCL focused on the importance of community building which was reflected in the Welcome Address by Lisa Ghany-Weekes, Manager Group Marketing and Communications who noted that “communities help to develop group identities through associations that connect us to lifelong experiences. Having a sense of community elicits tolerance, reciprocity, trust and establishes peer groups or as we prefer, “neighbours”. Communities foster socialization and a sense of belonging.”

This was reiterated by HCL’s Managing Director and CEO Michael Anthony Fifi, who declared  “The Crossings at Santa Rosa, exhibits all the characteristics of the ‘new urbanism’ by creating living environments which offer all the ingredients required for safe, healthy community living set in a format of convenience to its residents.”

In his remarks, His Worship the Mayor of Arima, Alderman Adrian Cabralis noted of HCL that “in naming this development The Crossings you have created an immediate synergy between the new residents and the existing burgesses. Additionally, the kind of community living being encouraged through this development captures in a relatively small space, exactly what we GenArimes have always cherished, a “wholesome lifestyle”.
