Housing Ministry holds open meeting with real estate developers, contractors
The Housing Ministry organised an open meeting with real estate developers and contractors bidding for the tender to build 132 housing units, along with necessary infrastructure on a government-owned land in Al Lawzi.
The 132-unit project is the pilot phase of a scheme to build housing units on government-owned lands, launched by the Ministry in October, 2019, in co-operation with the Eskan Bank.
During the meeting, attended by the representatives of local real estate development and contractor companies, the Housing MInistry staged a presentation, including details of the scheme.
The presentation highlighted the bidding criteria and documents, in addition to the technical and engineering requirements of the project regarding units or infrastructure.
Under the scheme, private real estate developers will develop the housing units, which will then be sold to the Kingdom’s citizens, who are on the waiting lists, by receiving one of the ministry’s financing programmes.
The Housing Ministry requesters real estate developers to submit their bids before 4 March, 2020, so that the construction work commences in May.
If the pilot phase of the project proves successful, similar housing projects will be implemented across governorates, with a plan to build 15,000 units on state-owned land plots over a 10-year period
