52 Families from the 1st phase of affordable housing visit new homes for the first time.
Last Saturday was a happy day for the 52 families from Olhão who will soon move into new affordable housing, as they had the opportunity, for the first time, to visit their finished apartments, get to know the spaces and even take measurements for purchasing furniture.
Many of the new owners made a point of bringing friends and family with them, with whom they shared the moment and exchanged impressions about their new home.
Throughout the morning there was also time to meet many of the new neighbors and even plan the constitution of future condominiums.
Those who also wanted to be present at this happy moment were the mayor, António Miguel Pina, and vice-president Ricardo Calé, who were the first "visitors" of the residents in their new apartments.
"The construction of these 52 homes at controlled costs, a project costing around 6 million euros, has enabled many other families in our municipality to finally have their own homes, at truly affordable prices, between 110,000 and 125,000 euros. I am very proud and happy," said António Miguel Pina late in the morning.
Once the first phase is completed, the second phase of the affordable housing project, which includes the construction of 288 more homes and 30 commercial spaces, will be built on the former Litografia site, on Avenida Sporting Clube Olhanense.
Also as part of the redevelopment of the 16 de Junho neighborhood, 64 new homes will be built to rehouse some of the residents who live in less dignified conditions.
