The project, adjacent to Airport Road’s Iron Bridge, consists of 321 housing units in the 16-floor high 11 housing blocks. The Municipality reported that the duration of the project’s implementation is18 months

The reactivation of the project comes as part of the Aldabaiba’s Reviving Life policy to activate nationwide projects that have been stalled for years. The governments seeks to improve infrastructure, advancing development and the economy by providing job opportunities for young people under improved security conditions.
