Abstract We consider constructions of manifolds withSU(3) holonomy as embedded in products of complex projective spaces by imposing certain homogeneous holomorphic constraints. We prove that every such construction leads to one deformation class of manifolds withSU(3) holonomy. For a subset of these manifolds we prove simple connectedness, address the problem of calculating the second Betti number and explicitly calculate it for a class of constructions. This establishes a very wide class of manifolds withSU(3) holonomy, that can give rise to yet many more constructions via dividing out the action of suitably chosen discrete groups. Some of the examples studied may yield phenomenologically acceptable models.
