The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning has announced the launch of three tenders for the construction of 137 new housing units in Salman City. This initiative is part of the government's "government land development rights" programme, a public-private partnership aimed at boosting housing supply. The project is being undertaken in accordance with directives from His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

The ministry stated that the new projects, spanning 27,000 square meters, comprise three packages: the first with 69 units, the second with 44 units, and the third with 24 units. The deadline for tender submissions is Wednesday, February 19th, 2025.

This announcement marks the seventh new housing project launched under the programme since its inception. Previous projects include the "Suhail" housing project in Al Luzi, completed in partnership with a private developer and with all units sold; a 131-unit project in Salman City partnered with Delmon Gate; and the "Al Buhair" and "Hawrat Sanad" projects, developed in collaboration with Al Saraya and Al Namal companies, respectively.

The ministry emphasised that the Salman City projects will benefit from ready infrastructure. The provision of complete infrastructure and integrated services in the designated areas aims to streamline the construction process for developers, ensuring timely completion and increasing the availability of housing units for citizens applying for housing finance programmes offered by the ministry.

The Ministry confirmed that its team is actively preparing to launch further housing projects under the same programme in the coming period, contributing to a significant increase in housing supply across the Kingdom.
