Total production of residential units in 2004 was 47 000. This comprised 26 000 units in the private sector (excluding village housing) and 21 000 public rental housing flats.

Supporting Infrastructure

Provision of the bulk of infrastructure to support housing developments has always been carried out in a programmed and structured manner. To avoid delaying housing developments due to lack of infrastructure facilities, the Government has adopted fast-tracking measures to deliver these projects when needed. From 1995 to 2004, there were 57 such projects and 48 have already been completed. The remaining nine projects are at various stages of implementation with a total project estimate of about $4.4 billion.
