@DXBMediaOffice/ X

Dubai has unveiled a new initiative aimed at streamlining home-building services for citizens.

His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council, launched the 'Dubai Integrated Housing Centre', which will provide 54 residential services under one roof.

The facility, located at Avenue Mall in Nad Al Sheba, is scheduled to commence operations in February.

It will provide services from four government departments and two private sector partners.

The establishment of the centre is aligned with the recently launched Dubai Social Agenda 33 highlighting the theme of 'Family: The Foundation of Our Nation'.

"Constructing a family home can be a challenging experience for many young individuals, demanding specific expertise and financial and legal awareness. Our aim is to transform this experience for citizens," said Sheikh Hamdan.

The Dubai Integrated Housing Centre will provide comprehensive housing services, encompassing personalised design and budget planning tailored to family size, assistance in selecting interior design and colour schemes, consultation on construction and financial planning and the estimation of project costs.

Additionally, the centre addresses the diverse needs of citizens, including the selection and allocation of residential lands.

The government entities offering services through the centre include the Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing Establishment, Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority, Dubai Municipality and Dubai Land.

Two private partners, Emirates Islamic Bank and Sobha Realty, are also contributing to the array of services offered.
