Another building up for sale is the Drill Yard that formerly housed several government ministries before the construction of the Ministerial Complex. In January, a portion of the building situated near the Sendall Tunnel collapsed. NIS has a price tag of EC$4.5 million for the building.
NIS is also selling a building that housed Radio Grenada as well as the former Parliamentary Election Office. The two buildings are priced at EC$400,000 and EC$950,000 respectively.
The NIS 2020 annual report shows that each of the properties placed on the market had been valued at less than its 2023 asking price.
