Warrens, Saint Michael, Barbados
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The town of Warrens located in the parish of Saint Michael is one of the fastest developing areas in the country of Barbados. In the span of a few short years beginning around the year 2000, the Warrens, Saint Michael area has become synonymous with new money flowing into the country and for the development in the form of newly constructed tall buildings.[1]
Traditional building-height restrictions in the downtown Bridgetown area,[2] and the perseverance of Barbados authorities in not allowing full-scale conversion of Bridgetown's many traditional buildings into tall iron and glass works[3] has led to many companies in Barbados choosing to locate in the Warrens area for their high-rise complexes.[4]
