Lambak Kanan vertical government housing scheme in 2023

A 47 hectares (120 acres) site at Lambak Kanan was confirmed as the location for Brunei's first vertical government housing scheme. Tender documents released in 2010 outlined plans for the development of at least 1,500 apartment units, with the residential footprint covering 14 hectares, or 30% of the site. The master plan included multi-purpose open spaces, recreation facilities, schools, community centers, and commercial/retail amenities. The tender also called for the construction and completion of an initial stage, consisting of approximately 420 units on a 4 hectares (9.9 acres) area. Proposed unit sizes ranged from 85 square metres (910 sq ft) (10% of units), 115 square metres (60%), to 130 square metres (30%), with initial design specifications allowing for a maximum height of 12 storeys. However, following further discussions, the Ministry of Development opted for a more conservative approach, settling on a six-storey design, which was formally announced in January 2012. This project marked Brunei’s first serious attempt to introduce vertical housing and to promote this shift in housing policy to the public. [6]
