Published January 12, 2026, 19:19

The first apartment building under the 'KTIZO' scheme in Latsia is expected to be delivered next month, with five more currently under construction. The project aims to replace 12 demolished apartment buildings and provide safe housing for eligible beneficiaries. Interior Minister Constantinos Ioannou expressed satisfaction with the project's progress despite the challenges. Further apartment buildings will follow gradually, with funding reaching €300,000 per building, plus €90,000 for elevator installation. For two cases of tenants refusing to leave their apartments, the Nicosia Local Authority has resorted to legal action, while alternative solutions are being explored. A review of the project's progress will be held in a broad meeting chaired by the Minister of Interior on the 22nd of the month.
