Real Estate Section
Section Duties:
The Real Estate Section receives the real estate sale offers from owners and brokers, whether they are plots of lands or commercial complexes. The Section, in turn, offers them to the Lands Committee and then makes a recommendation with respect to each offer.
The Real Estate Section makes the procedures of purchasing the lands recommended by the Committee and as approved by the Council. The procedures begin with obtaining the consent of the Prime Ministry and the consent of the Higher Regulatory Council at the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, and they end with the registration procedures at the Land & Survey Department.
After the project lands are purchased, the Section arranges a visit for the engineers so they are introduced to the nature of the project land and its surrounding area in order to help the fellow engineer to make the decision of registration in the project.
On the other hand, the Section is responsible for counting and estimating the lands owned by the Association in the end of each year and to issue the real estate portfolio of the Pension Fund to present it in the annual report.
The Lands Committee supervises Real Estate Section operations and real estate information, and the Head of Real Estate Section represents the Housing Committee Secretary.
