MUSCAT: The first model villa in Al Wafa District, part of Sultan Haitham City, is nearing completion and is expected to be ready within two weeks. The broader development is progressing rapidly, with initial residential handovers planned for mid-2026.
Salem bin Ali al Siyabi, Chairman of Al Abrar Real Estate — the project's main developer — confirmed that the first phase includes 470 residential units comprising independent villas, townhouses and apartments. Construction began in September 2024 and demand remains strong, with 96 per cent of the first phase already sold.
Following the strong market response, sales for the second phase were launched in November. To attract buyers, Al Abrar Real Estate introduced flexible financing options, extending repayment terms from three to five years and offering discounts of up to 15 per cent based on the payment plan. Special Ramadan promotions also include furnishing packages for select units.
Jamal bin Nasser al Hadi, spokesperson for the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, highlighted that Al Wafa District exemplifies successful public-private collaboration in urban development. He noted that infrastructure, including roads, utilities and digital connectivity, is progressing in parallel with housing construction to ensure a seamless urban experience.
Among the key government projects within Al Wafa District is a state-of-the-art school complex developed in partnership with the Ministry of Education. The facility is expected to enhance educational services and contribute to the city’s long-term urban vision.
Sultan Haitham City spans 14.8 million square metres and will eventually accommodate 100,000 residents across 19 integrated neighbourhoods. The development is structured in four phases, with completion targeted by 2045. As a model for sustainable urban planning, the city aims to position Oman as an attractive destination for both residents and investors. — ONA
