Umm Al Hassam: Following the directives of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to expand the Government Land Development Rights Programme, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning has launched a tender to construct 128 flats in Block 333 of Umm Al Hassam.
According to Bahrain News Agency, the project covers over 8,000 square metres and will be built to updated vertical housing standards, featuring modern units of up to 200 square metres with full facilities. Construction will take 20 months from the start of works, with units sold exclusively to beneficiaries of the housing finance programme.
This marks the first project under the programme in the Capital Governorate and the eighth nationwide. The ministry said there was increased interest from both developers and citizens in similar projects, emphasizing the programme's role in sustaining long-term housing services.
