(MENAFN) A new report released by CB Richard Ellis Bahrain (CBRE Bahrain) said that Saudi Arabia has started breaking ground for the first batch of a massive low-income housing plan announced early this year, Saudi Gazette reported.
Saudi Arabia plans to spend USD67 billion on building half a million housing units to meet the lower-income population needs.
A total of 32 square kilometers of housing units in the Kingdom is currently being masterplanned, according to a research note released by CBRE Bahrain.
Government policy through 2012 remains focused on infrastructure and social programs, the report added.
