250 applicants were today selected for HDC apartments.

The HDC says a random selection draw was held this morning, with applicants chosen for homes in the Bon Air North, Oasis Greens, Carlton Place and Cypress Hills developments, as well as Lakeview Bungalows.

It says those chosen have been on the HDCs Housing Application Fulfilment System for over ten years and must have had a qualifying assessment amount between $500,000 and $1,000,000.

They would have also had a preference for Eastern, Central and Southern areas.

The HDC says those selected will be offered two or three-bedroom housing units.

It adds that the event was audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Speaking at the draw was Housing Minister Camille Robinson-Regis, who said the blueprint for the coming year is for the construction of 3,606 new housing units.
