Applications for the government’s latest housing scheme will open on Sunday, the Housing Ministry has said.
Launched with fireworks at a groundbreaking ceremony in November 2017, the Hiyaa housing project involves the construction of 36 towers with one, two and three-bedroom apartments to house 80,000 people, according to the President’s Office.
Housing Minister Dr. Mohamed Muizzu tweeted on Monday night that applications for the 12 categories of the housing project would be available at the Dharubaaruge Convention Center in Malé.
Several state-owned enterprises have announced plans to build the towers and opened up the bidding process for their construction. Groundwork for some of the towers has already started.
