The first phase of the US $33.32mn Al Saf residential complex in the city of Kalba has been inaugurated by HH Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.
The project consists of 151 homes across an area of 417,000sqm, with a variety of adjacent services and facilities. Each residence includes five rooms, with an area of 322sqm. The first phase of the complex took 18 months to complete, and the second phase is expected to be delivered by the end of February 2024.
HH Dr Sheikh Sultan said that providing adequate and safe housing for the Emirati family is a major part of his vision of providing a stable life.
Previously, he directed the development of a variety of services in Al Ghail, such as sanitation and roads, among other infrastructure facilities.
HH Dr Sheikh Sultan emphasised the need to continue developing the areas according to the key priorities for each area, whether by replacing buildings or providing infrastructure, in order to make all areas of Kalba as hospitable as possible.
During the inauguration, the Ruler was shown a model of the housing ‘key box’ that will be delivered to citizens who are eligible for housing, as a way to welcome and congratulate the owners on their new homes.
He then planted an almond tree within Al Saf Park, which is in the middle of the complex and will provide a legacy centrepiece for the open green areas and the inauguration of Phase One.
