The Housing Authority is looking into developing a progressive office space alongside commercial outlets and a self-contained apartment complex at its existing Lautoka office property.
Housing Authority chief executive officer Alipate Naiorosui said, “Currently we are inviting competent individuals and design firms to conduct a feasibility study and submit a report on its financial viability and demand for commercial spaces in the city”.
The existing office space currently hosts a Customer Relations centre for Housing Authority as well as the Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption Lautoka branch.
Located within the central business district in between the Methodist Coronation Church and the Cathy Hotel, the property has a total land area of 2832 square meters.
“At this point, HA is inviting architects and technical firms to provide a conceptual design of how we can utilize this space to not only provide a modern office space for our Lautoka customers but to also support local business, government departments and other public enterprises expansion needs in the area”, Mr Naiorosui continued.
As part of the Expressions of Interest being carried out by Housing Authority, the documents must also outline the potential cost of recreating a new office space, commercial outlets and self-contained apartments as well as its projected timeframe for construction.
The Expression of Interest closes at 3pm on Friday 16th November, 2012 at which point all sealed envelopes must reach the tender box located on Level 5, Housing Authority Building in Valelevu, Nasinu.
