Transforming Tomorrow: Landmark Launch Event


November 12, 2024 : 5:50 pm

 

At HDC, we are proud to unveil a series of transformative development projects that promise to redefine living in Maldives. For over two decades, we have built a legacy dedicated to transforming man-made islands in the Maldives through ambitious visions and innovation.  

Today, we are taking the mission to new heights with developments aimed to seamlessly blend luxury, eco-conscious design and community-centric amenities, reflecting the commitments made by our President, His Excellency Dr. Mohamed Muizzu. Each development was designed to not only address the housing crisis but also foster inclusive, vibrant communities.  

At the launch event, attended by government officials, community leaders and valued stakeholders, we presented a bold vision for sustainable, modern living. From Rasmalé, the Maldives’ first eco-city, to Parking Building, we are addressing the diverse needs of our growing nation. Each project is a step towards creating communities that foster quality living. 

 

Rasmalé: The Eco-City 

As an ambitious response to the Maldives’ housing needs in late 2023, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu launched the Rasmalé project. This groundbreaking eco-city, three times the size of Hulhumalé, is designed to accommodate 325,000 residents, setting the stage for the most extensive and innovative land reclamation project in Maldives.  

Rasmalé will be developed with green infrastructure, featuring renewable energy systems, green spaces and smart technologies to minimize environmental impact. Alongside 65,000 housing units, the eco-city will include public parks and commercial spaces, aiming to create a self-sustaining community where residents can live, work and thrive within an integrated environment. 

In launching Rasmalé, we are not just building homes; we are creating an environment that reflects our commitment to the future. 

 

Farukolhufushi Gated Community: Elevating Luxury Living 

We are redefining luxury living with the launch of the Farukolhufushi Gated Community in Hulhumalé, a luxury development that promises an exclusive island living experience. Located on the site of the original Farukolhufushi Resort, this gated community will offer a range of upscale living options. 

This initiative is set to elevate the standards of luxury living, providing residents with resort-like amenities, including an indoor sports complex, lap pool, clubhouse, and a 5-story luxury hotel for guests and visitors. Farukolhufushi Gated Community is expected to enhance the Maldivian tourism industry.  

 

Row Houses and Prefab Homes: Modern, Inclusive Living

These Row Houses offer families a unique living experience complete with modern amenities, exclusive clubhouses, and wellness facilities to enrich their daily lives. This initiative is not just about housing, it paves the way for job opportunities in various sectors, helping to strengthen the economy and provide meaningful work for our community. 

Meanwhile, our innovative Prefab Homes project is a cost-efficient alternative to conventional housing. These customizable homes ensure safe, modern and comfortable living spaces with minimal turnaround time and costs. Their versatility allows for on-site modifications without sacrificing structural integrity, making them an ideal solution for the Binveriya housing scheme and easing families into their new lives. 

 

Social Housing Project: Affordable Living 

His Excellency Dr Mohamed Muizzu envisions housing as a cornerstone solution for the pressing challenges faced by the people of Maldives. He strongly believes that addressing housing will collectively tackle various challenges within the country. Two new social housing projects will be introduced, one featuring 1,700 social housing units and another providing over 400 social housing units.  

These developments go beyond just housing but will help to foster economic growth by incorporating dedicated commercial spaces that welcome local businesses. This initiative will not only kickstart economic activity but also will ensure residents have convenient access to essential services, significantly reducing their need to travel far. By creating community-focused developments we strive to enhance convenience and sustainability for all residents. 

 

Innovative Parking Solutions: Smart, Sustainable Infrastructure 

To address the Greater Malé Region’s parking challenges, we are introducing 15 multi-level parking buildings in Hulhumalé. This transformative initiative, led by our President Dr Mohamed Muizzu, aims to ease traffic congestion, reduce parking shortages, and streamline vehicle registration in the Greater Male Region.  

These solar-powered green parking buildings will reflect our commitment to eco-friendly urban development, paving the way for a sustainable future. The vision is to create a seamless parking experience with over 4000 parking spaces and advanced smart parking solutions for short and long-term needs. This initiative goes beyond parking. Each of these buildings will feature rooftop terraces with restaurants, recreational amenities, EV charging stations, and PWD-friendly access.

With features such as racing tracks and drift tracks to go-karts, every aspect of this project is designed for adventure.

This development will enhance the Maldives’ reputation as a diverse tourist destination, making it an ideal getaway.

We also aim to pave the way for local businesses to cater to food and beverage outlets, transportation and retail shops.
