2021: A poll finds few Maldivians want one-bedroom flats
In February 2021 a Maldives Opinion Network poll of 2,000 people found 72.5 per cent preferred a three-bedroom flat and 7.5 per cent a one-bedroom. The state's next large scheme, 4,000 flats in Hulhumalé Phase 2, was built with two and three bedrooms only.
Development
2021: Government promises Hiyaa keys in March, then in April
In February 2021 the housing minister said Hiyaa flats would be handed over by the end of March, unfinished and with three months rent-free; in March the President's Office said April. Keys were handed over from 14 July 2021 and residents moved in from mid-August.
Guides
Off-market, explained
Why many of the best homes in Malé and Hulhumalé are never advertised, how they change hands, and how a tenant or buyer gets to see them.
The Binga journey
What comes next, the connected journey
Binga captures a person superbly at every step and, until now, ran those steps separately. The next year is about one identity, one stage, one queue, and news that reaches people where they are.
Launches
Every enquiry reaches the concierge desk within fifteen minutes
Consultation requests and contact forms on binga.mv now flow into the concierge queue and the team's shared address book, so nothing sent through the marketplace waits in a mailbox.
Launches
Refer a tenant or a property in two minutes
Anyone can refer a person looking to rent or buy, or an owner with a unit to rent or sell. A concierge does the work; the referrer follows every milestone on a personal page.
Launches
Why Binga, in English and Dhivehi
Six promises to tenants and a matching set for owners, published as pages on the site, as cards in Binga's ads, and in Dhivehi with native Thaana typography.
