The development of 5,000 floating homes will be constructed in a lagoon five minutes speedboat ride from Male’.
The 5,000 housing units will be tethered to the lagoon floor and linked together to create a safe and comfortable environment. Floating City will also use the latest technology from the Netherlands, where engineers have already completed floating housing projects.

As per Bison Maldives, the first houses of the Maldives Floating City will be ready after Ramadan, and they will be open to the public shortly afterwards.
