A total of 42 000 residential units were completed in 2005, of which 17 000 were private sector homes (excluding village housing) and 25 000 public rental housing flats.

Supporting Infrastructure

The bulk of the infrastructure needed to support housing developments has always been provided in a programmed and structured manner. To avoid delaying housing developments due to the lack of infrastructure facilities, the Government has adopted fast-track measures to ensure early delivery of these projects. From 1995 to 2005, there were 57 such projects and 50 have already been completed. The remaining seven projects, with a total project estimate of about $2.7 billion, are at various stages of implementation.
