Ministry of Housing, Tawoos Group forge historic relationship

In a landmark initiative poised to shape the future of Oman’s urban development, Tawoos Group has entered into a significant relationship with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning (MoHUP) to pioneer the development and construction of cutting-edge mixed-use towers within the highly anticipated Al Khuwair Downtown project.

Tawoos will build the first mixed-use towers that will act as a lighthouse for the Al Khuwair Downtown project. The 12,000 sqm site will comprise 60,000 sqm GFA incorporating offices, residential and retail.

The project is an integral part of Oman’s National Spatial Strategy (ONSS), guiding the nation’s journey towards Oman Vision 2040.

It underlines the importance of planning new developments and infrastructure to maximise opportunities while preserving the country’s natural heritage. The ground-breaking project is strategically designed to manage urban growth, optimise infrastructure services, and create vibrant, inclusive communities.

His Excellency Dr. Khalfan Said Al Shuaili, Minister of Housing and Urban Planning, emphasised the significance of the collaboration. “The agreement between MoHUP and Tawoos Group marks a pioneering moment in Oman’s urban evolution. By uniting our vision with Tawoos Group’s aspirations, we are setting new standards for sustainability, architectural excellence, and community-centric urban development.”
