The administrative district of Hussein Dey oversees 1,200 subsidized promotional housing units, known as LPA units. These residential properties are distributed across four municipalities: Kouba, Hussein Dey, El Magharia, and Mohamed Belouizdad. To address ongoing project delays, the delegate wali of Hussein Dey, Nadjia Nassib, convened a meeting with local municipal heads and housing authorities. During the session, Nassib described the current situation as "sensitively delicate," or "حساس" in the original Arabic. Participants evaluated the status of the developments to determine necessary actions for project completion. Officials focused on coordinating efforts between the involved administrative bodies to resolve the obstacles currently stalling the progress of these 1,200 housing units across the specified districts.
Status of Current Construction
Construction data released by local authorities indicates that 80 housing units have completed construction within the district. These finished properties represent the initial portion of the broader project overseen by the Office of Promotion and Real Estate Management (OPGI) of Hussein Dey.
Regarding the remaining pipeline, 487 housing units are currently under construction. Progress across these active sites remains uneven, as project completion rates vary significantly among the individual developments. Site assessments show that some of these units have reached completion rates above 50 percent, while others remain below this threshold. Officials continue to monitor the ongoing work to address the factors contributing to the differing construction speeds across the affected municipalities.
Land Allocation and Procedures
Administrative authorities are finalizing land allocation procedures for 489 housing units. These properties remain pending as officials complete the necessary regulatory steps to formalize site assignments within the district. The Office of Promotion and Real Estate Management (OPGI) of Hussein Dey continues to manage these administrative transitions alongside relevant municipal partners to ensure the land is officially secured for the development pipeline.
Separate from the allocation process, 144 housing units are currently undergoing the process of resolving land reservation issues. These units face specific constraints regarding their site status that require additional coordination between local housing departments and the Real Estate Agency of the City of Algiers. Authorities are working to clear these outstanding reservations to facilitate the advancement of the projects. Consistent with the broader housing strategy, these administrative tasks aim to stabilize the project environment and move the pending units toward active construction phases.
Program History and Oversight
Registration for the subsidized promotional housing program began in 2019. This initiative established the framework for the development of residential units across the administrative district of Hussein Dey. Authorities structured the program to provide housing solutions for residents within the specified municipalities of Kouba, Hussein Dey, El Magharia, and Mohamed Belouizdad. Since the start of the registration period, the Office of Promotion and Real Estate Management (OPGI) of Hussein Dey has acted as the primary body responsible for managing the project pipeline. The program also involves inter-agency cooperation with the Office of Promotion and Real Estate Management (OPGI) of Dar El Beida and the Office of Promotion and Real Estate Management (OPGI) of Bir Mourad Rais. These entities continue to coordinate with the Real Estate Agency of the City of Algiers to maintain the oversight necessary for the completion of the units included in the original 2019 project design.
