After demolishing its old building in Malé and clearing out the site, the finance ministry has changed the location of its new 25-storey office complex from the capital to its suburb Hulhumalé.
The last minute change of plans was based on the advice of the authorities and technical experts, Ahmed Aiman, the ministry’s media official, told the Maldives Independent.
“The location is the only thing being changed, everything else remains the same including the design,” he said, adding that Malé’s “hectic environment” and the need to manage a large number of workers were among the reasons for the change.
“Also because of the narrow roads, traffic, congestion and schools being nearby we thought Hulhumalé is a better choice.”
