Fuvahmulah housing project launched: 400 units to be built

A major housing initiative was launched in Fuvahmulah City on Tuesday, with the foundation stone laid for the construction of 400 three-bedroom units. The ceremony was attended by President Dr Mohamed Muizzu as part of his two-day visit to Fuvahmulah and Addu City.

The foundation stone was laid by Minister of Construction, Housing and Infrastructure Dr Abdullah Muthalib, joined by parliamentarians representing Fuvahmulah’s constituencies.

The contract for the project has been awarded to Flexinc Pvt Ltd at a cost of MVR 470 million, with a completion timeline of 540 days. The housing units are designed to address the city’s growing demand for residential space, especially as Fuvahmulah’s population exceeds 14,000.
