At the May 2026 first anniversary of the official opening of the Morant Bay Urban Centre (MBUC) in St Thomas, KFC was the only business operating from the sprawling development.

Since then, two more businesses have opened their doors while several other prospective tenants are putting the finishing touches on their spaces ahead of launching operations.

Despite the premium rental rates, government agencies, including the St Thomas Municipal Corporation and Tax Administration Jamaica, are among the tenants preparing to occupy the complex.

The MBUC is a joint-venture development spearheaded by the Factories Corporation of Jamaica in partnership with the China Harbour Engineering Company.
