Plans are being developed over the coming months to enhance the quality of life in all residential areas for nationals.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed said: “Developing high-quality housing for nationals is a major priority for His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and this vital area is overseen by His Highness. I follow up on the progress of housing programmes with my brother His Highness Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of the UAE.
“Our objective is not only to provide homes for nationals, but also to develop integrated residential communities, provide a high quality of life and create a social system that ensures family stability.
“Over the coming months, we will launch a series of community projects under the auspices of the Higher Committee for Development and Citizens Affairs to ensure a high quality of life for all members of the community,” Sheikh Hamdan during a tour of several housing projects.
The projects he visited during the tour included Al Warqa 4 and Al Khawaneej 2 where construction works are underway on several housing projects worth Dh1.7 billion. During the tour, His Highness was briefed on the new vision and plan of the Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment focused on offering diversified housing options for nationals and accelerating the processing of all housing applications, over the next 20 years.
The plan overseen by the Higher Committee for Development and Citizens Affairs aims to provide housing services in line with the vision of the leadership and build 15,800 homes for nationals in Dubai by 2026. It also seeks to implement the approved housing programme in Dubai, which features the construction of 4,000 residential units with different options by 2026.
