Phase one of a 252 residential unit project in the Al Barsha area of Dubai has got underway and will cost in the region of £415m to construct. The scheme is being erected by The Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment (MRHE).
Sami Gargash, managing director of the MBRHE, said the execution of the multi-million pound project will be in two phases. "Phase I consists of 110 housing units which will take 21 months to complete, while phase II, which consists of 142 housing units will be completed within 24 months," he explained.
He added: "The current project includes housing units in nine different designs. Each design comprises a ground floor and two storeys. Each floor is made up of either three, four or five bedrooms, a sitting room, dining room, a kitchen, bathrooms, a special room for maid servants and a garage with a capacity to accommodate two cars."
The beginning of this project marks the take-off in the construction of 2,300 housing units by the company in various areas of Dubai. The construction of 325 housing units is expected to commence soon in the Oud Al Mutena area, while the construction of another 504 housing units will also get under way in the Al Warqa area.
