SJ Construction Private Limited has revealed the first preschool to be developed in Hulhumale’ Phase II is nearing completion.
Development of the first two preschools of Hulhumale’ Phase II was contracted to SJ Construction by Housing Development Corporation (HDC) in March this year. Fieldwork of the development of the first preschool, which is located in front of Hiya towers 3 and 4, began in April.
Providing the latest updates on the project, Logistics Manager at SJ Construction Shafzad Salih said the project is being carried out in two phases, with the first phase including development of 12 classrooms and the second phase including the development of another 12 classrooms. Shafzad said the first phase is more than 90% complete, noting the company aims to complete the handover of the first phase by August 15. He added the project is expected to be fully completed by September.
In addition to preschools, the government is also undertaking the development of primary and secondary schools in Hulhumale’ Phase II. As such, the newly built Ahmed Kamil Didi School will become the first school to be opened in the area next month.
Hulhumale’ Phase II was first populated in 2020 when owners of land plots first sold in the area began moving into their new homes. The population of the area began increasing sharply when recipients of the 6,720 housing units developed under the Hiya housing project began moving in to their flats last year. However, the area still lacks several essential services and residents of the area are required to travel often to Hulhumale’ Phase I or Male’ for services.
