Everything the desk has published under “expat life”.
Developments
An early swim on the fourteenth floor, a balcony for every part of the day, a play area for the children and a hall for the gathering. A day in the life of a Raincrest household, from sunrise to the last light over the sea.
Developments
Two fourteen-storey towers on Reethigas Magu, a swimming pool on the fourteenth floor between them, terrace gardens on the second floor and corner homes with three and five balconies. The design of Raincrest Residence, as a tenant finds it.
Developments
Friday morning in the gym, lunch downstairs, the children at the play area, the pool at dusk. How the shared spaces at FW Residence shape a tenant's weekend and a working-from-home week.
Developments
Water on one side, a park on the other, and homes that open to both. What a tenant notices first about FW Residence, from the corner glazing to the long balconies over the channel.

The park before breakfast, a daycare drop-off in the building, a supermarket downstairs and the pool in the evening. How a day might run at K-Park Residence in Hulhumalé, based on what the building offers.
Developments
A fourteen-floor building described by its developer as sitting beside Central Park, with a pool, a garden and a lobby shared by 110 homes. What a tenant can expect of K-Park, and what the desk has yet to see.
Developments
Morning on the rooftop, a smart home that manages its own climate, the children in the eco-play area. How the developer's plans for Kandoofa Ecoplex would shape a day in Hulhumalé Phase 2.
Developments
A Hulhumalé Phase 2 development its developer describes as inspired by the mangrove, with ventilation corridors, vertical gardens and a rooftop garden. What the design promises a tenant, and what the desk has yet to verify.
Developments
School mornings, a parked car that stays parked, homework in the fourth room, a birthday in the hall upstairs. How a household might use a 3+1 home and its shared spaces across a working week in central Malé.
Developments
A quiet residential tower above a busy Malé street, with daylight designed into the plan and the outdoor life lifted to the roof. What a tenant will notice about Luxera on Sosun Magu.

Developments
A ten-floor building of 70 homes on Fithiroanu Magu, with a spa, a gym and a restaurant inside. What a tenant can expect of Batch Construction's Marina View in Hulhumalé.

A swim before work, the ferry terminal a short walk away, a laundry room that keeps the balcony clear and the marina at the end of the day. An ordinary day in a furnished three-bedroom at Oceanfront Residence.
Developments
Two thirteen-storey towers on Fithuroanu Magu, spaced for the breeze, with two infinity pools, garden terraces and balconies that look across the marina. The design of Oceanfront Residence, as the sources describe it.

Thirteen floors above the yacht marina on Fithuroanu Magu, with sunset from the living room, bi-fold doors to the balcony and a garden on the second floor. The design of DAMAS Real Estate's One Avenue.
Developments
Morning light on the channel, a study room that earns its keep, the pool and gym downstairs from your working day, and a car that lives in the building's own garage. A day in RCC's Hulhumalé tower.
Developments
A fourteen-storey tower of 116 homes by RCC in Hulhumalé, built around high ceilings, an unbroken flow from living room to bedroom, and, on the upper floors, the turquoise of the channel. What the building gets right.
Developments
The waterfront road Blue Lagoon shares with Oceanfront Residence and Marina View sets the rhythm of the day. What that day looks like for a tenant, and which parts depend on a building whose specification is still to come.
