The public housing developments on the Zone A of the new landfills and the Avenida de Venceslau de Morais (land of the former CEM power plant) will be ready in 2024, president of the Housing Bureau (IH), Arnaldo Santos, said yesterday.
“It is estimated that the construction time is about four years [for the Zone A, Lots A1, A2, A3, A4, and A12],” Santos said in response to media questions following the press conference announcing the new economic acquisition housing tender.
Doing a brief evaluation on the status of the public housing projects, he added, “Regarding the 28,000 [public housing] units planned for the Zone A, we will build the 24,000 that are already planned in the first phase. We will do this gradually. [From these] 3,011 units are already being build and another 5,200 are being tendered. After that, we will have around 4,000 units of economic rental houses and around another 10,000 of economic acquisition housing units.”
“As for the [former] CEM [land plot], according to estimations, the construction will be concluded around 2024,” he remarked.
Addressing the current situation of the Mong Tak Building, which is part of Mong-Há’s economic rental housing, the IH president said, “It is already built and soon we will start to attribute the [housing] units. Next week we will unveil this process and also disclose the current status of the permanent tender [for economic rental housing].”
According to Santos, from the 2017 economic rental public tender applicants, there are still around 550 people on the list, while the number of candidates for the economic acquisition is around 3,400.
