The building of 1,500 flats and 350 houses in Tacirua with another 500 multi unit flats in Raiwai and Raiwaqa is expected to begin as early as next month.
Acting Housing Authority Chairman Ratu Josateki Nawalowalo revealed this after receiving confirmation from the EXIM Bank of China yesterday that their $70 million soft loan had been approved.

The soft loan with an interest rate of 2 percent will see the Housing Authority getting $50 million and PRB getting $20 million.
