Construction work on the first residential neighborhood project in Hay Al Naseem is continuing apace in Barka Wilayat, according to a key official of the Supreme Council for Planning (SCP), which is overseeing the implementation of this housing initiative in the Sultanate.

Ya’arub bin Mubarak al Hadhrami (pictured), Director of the Sorouh Integrated Residential Neighborhood Project, a key milestone in the development of the venture will be achieved when the marketing centre formally opens shortly. It will pave the way for the marketing of housing sales and the commencement of sales.

He told ONA that the project, which is being supervised by the Secretariat General of the Supreme

Council for Planning (SCP), in cooperation with the Ministry of Housing, is a PPP initiative with Al Adrak Development representing the private sector in the delivery of the first precinct (Hay Al Naseem).

Commenting on the progress made thus far, he said: “The preliminary studies of the project, such as traffic and environmental studies, have been completed, as well as all engineering designs for the residential area and the infrastructure of the project, and the preparation of the marketing plan.”

Construction work of 22 independent housing units has started as models that are fully designed with all surrounding services, such as sidewalks, corridors and afforestation, to be used later as a marketing centre for the project.

He added, ”The construction of one of the apartment housing buildings for the project has started. It will be fully furnished to be a living model for marketing the project.” He explained that the marketing campaign will be launched in mid-june and the sale stage will start in July, and construction work for the first stage of the project will kick off in August.

The integrated residential neighbourhood is coming up on a 355,000 sq metre plot and will accommodate more than 1,000 housing units of different sizes and features.

This project will enable citizens, who are eligible for land plots, to consider residing in an integrated neighbourhood equipped with all of the amenities of modern living.
