MANAMA: A multimillion-dinar plan to build hundreds of flats on Island 12 of the Salman City has been unveiled.
Under the massive plan, the green light was given to start constructing 1,382 apartments costing around BD122,679,387.
Housing Minister Bassem Al Hamer yesterday announced the project which is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2023.
The project is slated to be constructed as part of the general blueprint of the Salman City.
It is also part of the Government Action Plan (GAP) which stipulates the construction of 25,000 flats and meet the needs of applicants who are on the waiting list.
The minister visited the land allocated for the project (Island 12), accompanied by Under-Secretary Shaikh Khalid bin Humood Al Khalifa, assistant under-secretaries Dr Khalid Al Hidan and Ridha Al Adraj and other officials.
He was updated by the developers on the blueprint of the project, infrastructure and other planned service facilities.
He stressed the importance of the project in meeting growing demand of flats in the Northern Governo rate and other areas.
He added that the project features open areas, cycling lanes and children’s gardens. “Most of the flats have been designed to look out on green spaces – parks, gardens and 40km-long beachfront cycling and walking lanes.
The massive Salman City has been designed to cover 740 hectares on the northwestern coast of Bahrain.
