The intent to construct the temple was announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on April 5, 2015, during the Sunday morning session of the church's general conference.[2][3] The Abidjan Ivory Coast and Bangkok Thailand temples were announced at the same time.

At a stake conference in Port-au-Prince on March 12, 2017, apostle Neil L. Andersen announced that the church had acquired the property behind the meetinghouse on Route de Frères for construction of the temple.[4][5]

On October 28, 2017, a groundbreaking ceremony to signify the beginning of construction took place with Walter F. González presiding.[6]
