New housing phase begins in Coconi

The CDC Habitat group and its subsidiary, the Société Immobilière de Mayotte (SIM), began the third phase of construction on Tuesday for the "Les Palmiers" residential project in Coconi. This phase is part of a larger development plan that will eventually include more than 160 homes, a school, and nearly 2,200 square meters of office space.

Project details and housing types

The project includes 45 mixed-use housing units, with 22 designated as very social rental homes, 18 as social rental homes, and 5 as free homes. It also provides 45 parking spaces, with an overall investment of about 10 million euros.

Mayor highlights development goals

The mayor of Ouangani, Issoufi Madi, emphasized that the project supports the commune's development and urban planning goals. He aims to make Ouangani a forward-thinking community with a mix of social and urban elements, helping families access housing and offering new living opportunities.

SIM director on project progress

Ahmed Ali Mondroha, general director of the SIM, stated that the project marks the completion of many efforts to transform the site. Previously, the area had individual homes that did not meet the population's needs, but now it is becoming a modern, attractive, and sustainable neighborhood.

Future housing projects in Coconi

In addition to "Les Palmiers," two other housing projects—"Les Flamboyants" and "Les Avocatiers"—are currently under construction in Coconi. These will add 46 and 70 homes, respectively, bringing the total number of homes in the area close to 160, along with a school and many office spaces.

CDC Habitat's long-term vision

Clément Lecuivre, president of the CDC Habitat board, noted that the group's goal is to support territorial development alongside the SIM. The SIM plans to deliver about 500 homes annually for the next 10 years, with a total investment of 1.2 billion euros. As of September 30, 2026, 80% of the homes affected by cyclone Chido had been put into work, with the aim of completing all affected homes by the end of the year.
