New accommodation for workers in Industrial Area

A new compound with a large number of houses and facilities for expatriate workers has opened in the Industrial Area.

Some companies have shifted their employees such as drivers, storekeepers and merchandisers to the compound from the common congested single worker accommodations in the area.

The compound on Street No.18 has over 50 housing units each on three floors and each floor with four homes with four rooms.

Unlike the usual single worker accommodations, each house has three bathrooms, a sitting room and a kitchen.

The compound also has parking facilities and 24-hour security.

Some expats who have moved to the compound by their employers told The Peninsula newspaper that they find the new place more convenient than places where they had been accommodated.

Some residents said the houses are also likely to get WiFi connection and the compound will have a restaurant and a supermarket soon.

Asked if any low-income workers had been accommodated in the compound, residents said they had so far met only people working as drivers and merchandisers.

There is a photo on the Peninsula website that looks like decent accommodation.
