A multi-million dollar beachfront development dubbed ‘Little India’ is expected to be completed in 2020.
The project, to provide luxury seafront homes in the Duqm development zone, will enable foreign investors who buy homes there to obtain residency cards.
The inauguration of the scheme will signal the first of many projects to enhance the port of Duqm, which is key to the Oman government’s non-oil future.
After Eid, construction will also start on a seafront cluster of luxury apartments called ‘The Pearl’. Expats buying these homes are guaranteed residency in Oman.
Parts of the Little India project, which includes chalets, a resort and beachfront properties are set to be completed and operational by 2020, developers say.
The new project’s beachfront chalets will be available to rent while larger villas and seafront properties will be available for purchase.
An agreement, for allocating 600,000 square metres of land, was signed in December 2017 by the Special Economic Zone Authority in Duqm with Little India, the master developer of the tourism complex.
The Pearl project, which is made up of 150 studio apartments, should be completed in 18 months after construction begins.
