The Region Deal programme also shaped the final plan for this project through earlier community consultations, where residents shared their comments and suggestions.
The local contractor Canwood Enterprise N.V is now clearing the site to prepare for construction. Following this phase, the project will move to the fabrication of the new structural steel frame. Thinking Steel International BV has been selected to design and install these parts. Their structures are built to withstand the harsh Caribbean climate, including salt air and heavy storms. A target has been set for installation of the steel structure for July 2026.
Before the steel is placed, a full study of the ground must be completed. Independent Consulting Engineers (ICE BV) will carry out a soil investigation later this month to guide the foundation design. Once the foundation plan is finalised, contractors who meet the profile will be selected to begin the main construction. The Region Deal aims to finish the outer shell of Madam Theatre by the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2026. This phased approach ensures that the new building meets modern standards. The project supports the broader goals of the Island by strengthening cultural life and creating a vibrant home for arts and community events for years to come.
