15 hectares of land have been reclaimed from Hulhumalé Phase III.

The Hulhumalé Phase III reclamation project is being carried out in two phases. As part of the first phase, 10 hectares of land were reclaimed.

Five hectares of land have been reclaimed as part of the second phase.

Currently ongoing is the work to reclaim the remaining areas as part of the second phase of the project.

A total of 63 hectares of land are to be reclaimed as part of the Hulhumalé Phase III reclamation project, in total.

The Housing Development Corporation (HDC) has given a tour of the areas being reclaimed, to media houses.

Speaking to press, HDC’s Managing Director Ibrahim Fazul Rasheed revealed that the process of land reclamation came to a standstill at a point, due to difficulties faced in acquiring sand.

The process has resumed after they acquired enough sand to land the reclamation work, for three to four weeks.

The second phase of the reclamation of Hulhumalé Phase III began in late December. HDC earlier urged to remove vessels from the area, to accommodate the dredging component of the reclamation work.

The company has urged individuals to reach out to them through 1516 if any further information is required regarding the project.

The reclamation work of Site A of Hulhumalé Phase III was wrapped up successfully back in October 2023. 10 hectares of land were reclaimed for Site A, of Hulhumalé Phase III.

The Hulhumalé Phase III reclamation project is part of various development projects initiated by the former administration of Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, carried out to overcome the multiple difficulties facing residents of the Greater Malé Region.

The 63-hectare land reclamation project in Hulhumalé Phase III will greatly ease the housing crisis that residents of the capital Malé City have been facing for years.

It is also expected to fulfill the dreams of Malé City citizens of improving the quality of life for many.

The project is being carried out by the Capital Marine and Civil Construction Company Private Limited (CMC), for a total of MVR 259.2 million.
