It is true that housing is an important part and is a priority in the thinking and plans of the government. However, it has no objection to launching community initiatives from real estate developers to contribute to the housing of citizens. A space or units of different specifications and reasonable prices to serve UAE nationals.
In some European countries and elsewhere, companies are required to contribute to the provision of housing units to citizens, certainly not free, but at preferential prices and soft loans. This is not a heresy, nor is it strange. Make these units available to various segments of society.
In the UAE, real estate developers enjoy unlimited support, access to many facilities and concessions, and are now in a more demand-driven phase, so they need to promote more and give more facilities to increase their sales. The government and a number of concerned parties, to allocate part of the areas of large projects of citizens, provided that the housing units or villas allocated to the needs of citizens, in terms of internal distributions and room spaces and prices and annual fees, what suits the other nationalities do not suit the citizens, And well-being of complementary things, but the basics in terms of councils, lounges, separate kitchen, rooms and support services owners, these things can be observed from the beginning, and can be used to provide housing programs.
The development of such partnerships between real estate developers and government housing companies has many benefits for all parties. The real estate developer will ensure the sale of these units immediately upon completion, but at preferential prices, and in return he can receive government facilities, benefits and exemptions against the amounts deducted for citizens Preferential prices, and government agencies will find a new outlet to provide housing for citizens to relieve the pressure on housing projects and land stock allocated for housing citizens, and will find a direct solution to housing some groups directly and quickly, and the government will also benefit from d In areas of integrated services, often lacking the presence of citizens.
What is happening now is that real estate developers are focusing heavily on the housing of the wealthy and the high incomes, or that they are building the villas in a commercial way to ensure a larger income, they tend to reduce the space and reduce the specifications, so both models are not fit at all to housing citizens, which prevents them from sitting with them in the stage Design, and work in one way or another on their enthusiasm and motivation to build part of the units in a way that suits us, and real benefits to benefit from in return, to win everyone and benefit everyone!
