Buildings on Kingsway are primarily residential and a hotel with large-scale business entertainment and recreational activities would be out of place, it said last year
But NEPA's chief executive officer and government town planner, Peter Knight said quite a bit of work has been done with the investors on the plans.
He said the character of the area has changed with time and a three-storey boutique business hotel shouldn't be an issue.
"The area was for single family homes, but has changed to multi-family homes, and some businesses are nearby," he said.
ZDA constructed the Basic Medical Science Complex of the University of West Indies, Mona Campus and according to Zhong, the company has its eyes set on building some low-income houses in the future.
