By the grace of Almighty, the Nairobi Jamaat (SAAJ) Housing Development Project is in the final stages of completion and is expected to be ready by July 2019, Inshallah. The project coming to fruition is a big step forward and we congratulate the Nairobi Jamaat (SAAJ) for their keen involvement and efforts for this project for the benefit of the members of the Jamaat in particular.
The project which comprises of two blocks of 6 storeys, with each block accommodating 24 apartments with about 100 car parking space in total, this kind of project for the Jamaat is indeed a landmark achievement.
Noteworthy is the close involvement of the Africa Federation Housing Board member, Alhaj Mohammed Bandali of Nairobi who has been monitoring the project quality and impressing upon the contractor for completion by working hand in hand with SAAJ and HPC and AFED Housing Development Board.
On 11th June 2019, Alhaj Akil Hirji – AFED Housing Board Chairman visited Nairobi to check on the progress of the project. He was pleased with the speed of the works and quality of finishes. Block ‘A” is 100% completed and ready for occupancy, all utilities such as water, electricity etc. tested. Akil bhai was accompanied by SAAJ Chairman Alhaj Zaheerabbas Khimji, HPC Chairman Alhaj Mohamed Kermali and contractor representatives.
Block ‘B’ is in its final stage of completion with minor touch ups remaining. The garden area is well prepared with plantation started and the parking area paving is being completed at good pace. The external works outside the boundary of the road makeover has started. Overall the progress is pleasing, and it is anticipated that the project will be completed as per the schedule.
SAAJ Trustees have also been actively involved in the project to ensure the completion of the Project so that the community members are able to move into their own houses as soon as possible.
AFED Housing Board and Nairobi Jamaat are pleased to inform that 20 apartments have been sold on outright purchase basis to first time buyers, few are on SAAJ “Rent to Own” scheme basis, 2 apartments donated to SAAJ (Nairobi Jamaat), leaving few units available for sale etc.
The Africa Federation and SAAJ are appealing globally to those who have relatives and close friends residing in Nairobi, to take advantage of this golden opportunity for first time buyers at K.Shs:11,000,000 and K.Shs:13,000,000 to second time buyers.
The Housing Board Chairman Alhaj Akil Hirji appreciates the hard work and effort put in by the Chairman of Nairobi Jamaat Alhaj Zaheerabbas Khimji, AFED Housing Board Member Alhaj Mohammed Bandali and SAAJ HPC Chairman, Alhaj Mohamed Kermali without whose support this project would have been a great challenge to accomplish.
The hand over of the apartments to the buyers is planned to take place by 15th July 2019. We pray to Allah (SWT) to help us complete the project within the time frame for the betterment of our community members, may Allah (SWT) grant tawfeeqat, good health with long life and success to all those who have been part of this project development since its inception to-date, Ameen.
