JOP Property Holdings Inc., a Guyanese company, is set to construct a wharf at Land of Canaan, near Baker Hughes’ Supercenter. With a capital investment of US$25 million, the facility will add to the growing industrial and commercial development in the area.
Located approximately 14 miles south of Guyana’s Capital Georgetown, the Supercenter sits on eight acres of land, next to the Demerara River. The Supercenter is a result of a multimillion-dollar investment from Baker Hughes and consists of two buildings totaling almost 100,000 square feet, which include a workshop, warehouse, storage space, and maintenance facilities.
After preparing the land for rent to Baker Hughes, JOP Property Holdings is preparing to expand its offerings with construction of the facility. The wharf will be situated along the waterfront boundary of its 12.560 acres Land of Canaan facility, east of the Demerara River. This strategic location is expected to provide river access, facilitating the transition of products and supplies to and from offshore operations. The initiative will eliminate the need for road transportation.
JOP Property Holdings has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Guyana for environmental authorisation for the project.

The construction of this facility adds to rising industrial and commercial activities within Land of Canaan, fueled by the burgeoning oil and gas sector, and expanding building and infrastructure developments. The area also hosts a variety of forestry-related operations including sawmills, wood processing operations, and lumberyards.
