After breaking the terms. Did the Department of Housing deceive the owners of the Paradise Project in October?
Despite the contracts and designs used in marketing for the luxury housing project “Jana” in 6 October City, which is sold to citizens at higher prices than usual, claiming that there are artificial lakes, landscaping areas and green spaces in the project, the New Urban Communities Authority’s desire to achieve the largest financial gains came at the expense of citizens who They believed the promises of the commission and contracted on units, paying an 8% discrimination rate over their units that were to overlook lakes and green areas, then it was decided, in no time, to transform them into a kiosk area with a usufruct system granted to a contracting company according to the residents’ assurances.
A number of owners told Eskan Misr: “The problem is that we have reserved housing units in the Jannah project in 6th of October City, at a price per square meter ranging from 8,500 pounds per square meter in the first phase to 9,500 pounds per square meter in the second phase. It was agreed that there would be a landscape area. And lakes are explicitly mentioned in the general marketing advertisement, in the project boards, and in the scheme stipulated in the conditions booklet in the area in the middle of the project, and overlooked by units that paid a price discrimination rate of 8%, which is an average of 100 thousand pounds for each unit, although the same housing unit is the same The architectural division with the same finishing was put up for sale at a price of 3 to 5 thousand pounds in Dar Misr October, and we accepted the price increase to take advantage of the lakes and green spaces.”
And they continued, saying: «We asked the authority to start implementation due to the delay in delivering the units to the detainees more than once, and finally, last March, a contractor, Al-Tabarak Company, was chosen for implementation during the reign of Engineer Sherif El-Sherbiny, head of the 6th of October City Authority, and after work stopped in the place, we discovered that the area had been put up. To an investor in the same way as 6 October Street was put up behind the Mall of Arabia with a BOT system or usufruct. When we objected to the infringement of the privacy of the owners and even deceived them with a brochure of terms and designs that were not implemented, we were informed that these facilities are easy to dismantle and install and that they serve the residents, stressing that they are present in the project’s panels, This is an untrue and false statement, stressing that what is happening is fraud and fraud, which they were exposed to by the Societies Authority that violated the contracts and the conditions booklet.”
The owners demanded the Minister of Housing, Dr. Assem Al-Jazzar, to quickly intervene and stop the violations in the project, while adhering to the contract concluded with the citizens and respecting the conditions booklet, and the speedy completion of the implementation of the landscape and lakes area, stressing that resorting to the judiciary is an expected step if the Ministry of Housing refuses to respect the law.
