Residents of Salman City will access community event halls at symbolic fees as part of a new housing model designed to create integrated residential communities.
Balsam Al Salman, Assistant Undersecretary for Engineering Affairs at the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning, said the project goes beyond traditional apartment buildings by introducing shared facilities, services, and spaces focused on improving residents’ quality of life.
The upgraded housing model includes suspended gardens, children’s play areas, seating spaces, exercise areas, event halls, and commercial facilities designed to meet residents’ daily needs.
Al Salman said the event halls will be managed in cooperation with the Housing Bank, which operates the project, and symbolic fees will help support the maintenance and operation of the facilities.
She added that commercial outlets within the residential complex will provide additional services for residents, and their revenues will contribute towards covering maintenance costs.
The project reflects the ministry’s approach of developing housing communities based on residents’ needs, including feedback gathered through surveys, community studies and public communication channels.
Al Salman said the aim is to create residential environments that provide not only housing, but also spaces that support family life and community interaction.
