Almost 9,024 apartments (376 residential buildings) are 91.5 percent complete in Badr City, which are designated for the first batch of government employees to move to the New Administrative Capital (NAC) upon operation of the new city’s ministerial district.
This came during Iraq’s Minister of Construction, Housing and Public Municipalities Nazanin Muhammad Wosu tour to the new capital, accompanied by Deputy Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities for National Projects Khaled Abbas and Assistant Vice President of the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA) Kamal Bhagat.
During the visit, Wosu inspected 29,496 housing units (1,124 buildings) in NAC’s Capital Gardens district, which comes in line with President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi’s “Residence for All Egyptians” national project across new cities nationwide, according to an official statement.
With investments valued at 7.5 billion Egyptian pounds, construction on residential properties at the Capital Gardens area is 62 percent done, surpassing NUCA’s target achievement rate of 52 percent, the statement noted.
On his part, Abbas emphasized the special focus put on quality and efficiency throughout the implementation process to deliver units to beneficiaries with the expected specifications.
Last May, Bahgat had announced that 9,024 apartments are 73 percent finished in Badr City, as part of the government’s plans to relocate 51,000 state employees to NAC, according to an earlier ministerial statement.
