Unit Specifications & Social Housing Objectives
Each flat, part of the largest social housing initiative in the Greater Malé region, will be fully finished upon handover, including: ceiling fans, windows, doors, tiled flooring, painted interiors, and bathroom fixtures with sinks . These units form part of a 25-year rent-to-own model devised by the Minister of Construction, Dr Abdulla Muththalib, aimed at tackling rent defaults and fostering property ownership.
Project Overview & Context
- The 32-tower development—comprising 16 Amaan Udhares towers by India’s JMC and 16 Amaan Dhoadhi towers built by NBCC—contains a mix of two- and three-bedroom apartments totaling 4,000 units.
- Initially stalled at just one-third completion under the previous administration, progress surged to over 95% in key areas after renewed government focus.
- Final stages now hinge on utility connections by STELCO and MWSC—paving the way for phased handovers through September 2025.
What This Means for Residents
- 25-year rent-to-own agreements give residents a clear path to full ownership after completing rental payments .
- Each flat arrives turnkey-ready—no further investment required upon move-in.
- The signing starts the legal transition for recipients to move in and begin occupancy.

FDC will soon release detailed schedules and zone maps via its official platforms.
Recipients should monitor the Fahi Portal regularly, complete required paperwork, and arrive on time.
