New Parliament Building, Parliament building on Mount Wheldale, St. George's, Grenada
The New Parliament Building is a modern parliament structure on Mount Wheldale in St. George's. The facility houses the House of Representatives and Senate chambers and offers views across the city and surrounding bay from its elevated position.
The building was constructed after Hurricane Ivan destroyed York House, the original parliament structure, in 2004. It was completed in 2018, marking the rebuilding of Grenada's legislative center.
The building was designed by the Grenadian firm COCOA Architecture, and its name in use is simply the New Parliament Building, distinguishing it from the destroyed York House. It sits on Mount Wheldale above St. George's, so the seat of Grenada's legislature is visible from much of the city and its bay.
The building stands on Mount Wheldale above St. George's and its bay, so the approach from the city centre climbs. It is a working parliament, not a tourist site: the sources record no guided tours or visitor programme, so viewing is from outside and the surrounding grounds rather than the chambers.
The US$12.2 million cost was partly covered by contributions from Mexico and the United Arab Emirates, and the design came from the Grenadian firm COCOA Architecture. The building was officially opened on 21 June 2018, replacing York House, which Hurricane Ivan destroyed in 2004.
