2x World Cup winner Marlon Samuels invests in Guyana’s TAJ DIAMOND
TAJ DIAMOND, a new planned community redefining urban development in Guyana, proudly announces that global cricket legend and two-time Cricket World Cup Champion Marlon Nathaniel Samuels, “The ICON”, has officially joined as a resident and investor. Samuels, a two-time Man of the Match, has secured seven homes in the development, one as his personal residence and six as part of his rental investment strategy.
Samuels’ decision to invest in multiple units underscores the growing confidence in Guyana’s real estate sector, particularly in the ‘Diamond to Buzz Bee Dam’ East Bank Corridor where this project is taking shape.

“I’ve travelled the world thanks to cricket, and I can say with confidence that Guyana is poised for something big,” said Samuels. “After decades of playing cricket, my favourite hotel in the world is the Taj Mahal in India. So, after learning about the TAJ DIAMOND project, I truly believe it showcases Guyana’s beauty and excellence. I’ve been coming to Guyana for a long time, and truly, I can say that there’s no project like this one. As I like to say, It’s iconic!”
Following its public launch earlier this month at an initial early bird price of US$250,000 per home, TAJ DIAMOND has already completed land clearing and mobilisation, with infrastructure and vertical construction set to start soon. Due to strong buyer demand and rapid development progress, pricing now starts at US$300,000. With over 10% of the community already reserved by buyers and investors, the first homes are scheduled for delivery in Q4 2025.
Developed by Coastal Rim Properties, a U.S.-based real estate firm with over 50 years of large-scale global development experience, TAJ DIAMOND will feature:
* 249 three-storey luxury homes with private two-car garages
* Gated access and 24/7-armed security patrols
* Resort-style amenities including a clubhouse, pool, cinema, and fitness centre
* 40,000 sq. ft. of premium retail and dining, anchored by Morton’s The Steakhouse and other leading brands
* An optional fixed 14% yield leaseback programme, offering passive income to buyers with full-service management
Nicola Mola, the lead developer for the Guyana project, said, “We’re very pleased that Marlon Samuels, THE ICON, has chosen TAJ DIAMOND as both a resident and investor. His involvement adds energy, visibility, and validation to what’s quickly becoming one of Guyana’s most transformative communities. Stay tuned; more exciting announcements are on the way!”
TAJ DIAMOND has also sought the support of the ACE Consulting Group for business development services.
