One hundred and sixty ‘Habita Moçambique’ apartments for middle-income citizens will be built later this year in Marracuene district, Maputo province, and in Chimoio, in Manica.

Armindo Munguambe, chairman of the Housing Development Fund [Fundo de Fomento à Habitação/FFH], said that the construction of the apartments demonstrated the government’s commitment to providing housing adapted to the needs of various social groups by expanding existing projects and identifying new areas of investment.

The process of determining the contractor is currently underway, and work is expected to start in the coming months.

Zintava

The apartments in Marracuene are part of the Condomínio Zintava, where 160 housing units have already been built. The planned investment is estimated at 600 million meticais, financed by the state budget.

“In relation to Zintava, the launch of the third phase is already in view. Financial availability does not allow us to build the number of units originally foreseen, and at this stage we are moving forward with just 128 apartments,” Munguambe explained.

The Zintava project comprises four-storey buildings, and is being developed in phases, with the third batch of apartments likely to be available to potential buyers next year.

The Zintava project intends building 1,840 apartments – ‘Tipo 2’ and ‘Tipo 3’ – over the next few years, , at a cost of US$90 million (5.7 billion meticais).

Chimoio

Regarding the 32 apartments due to be built in Chimoio’s Heróis Moçambicanos neighbourhood, administrative procedures are also nearing completion, and work should start soon.

“The works on the 32 apartments in Chimoio are at an advanced stage. We anticipate construction work will start in the next few days,” Munguambe said

Chongoene

Also within the scope of the Habita Moçambique housing project component, the government is to deliver 38 residences, part of a parcel of 100 houses built in the district of Chongoene, Gaza province.

Munguambe promised that the Housing Development Fund would continue to pay attention to other ongoing projects aimed at low-income earners and the provision of infrastructured land, with emphasis on the ‘Renascer’ scheme.
