(Suva, 02 April 2026) – Housing Authority (Authority) would like to counter claims made on social media regarding the sale of high-end residential lots.
It is important to note that from time to time, the Authority offers a limited number of higher-value residential lots as part of a balanced development strategy. This approach enables the organisation to cross-subsidise and continue delivering affordable housing options for low- and middle-income Fijians.
Chief Executive Officer of Housing Authority, Mr Isikeli Navuda, emphasised that the sale of high-end lots accounts for less than 20% of the Authority’s total land stock, classified under Residential B.
“This is a strategic approach that allows us to remain financially sustainable while fulfilling our core mandate of providing affordable housing. The revenue generated from these higher-end developments directly supports the subsidisation of lower-cost residential lots, ensuring accessibility for those who need it most,” Mr Navuda said.
“Out of the 296 lots being developed out of Nepani, 36 lots (or 12%) have been advertised, which are Residential B are earmarked for the higher-end market. The remaining 260 lots (or 88%) of the lots, which are categorized as Residential C & D, are sold to the low-end market at low prices. Some of these have had houses built on them and sold as Design & Build homes at comparatively low prices.”
Mr Navuda reiterated that the Housing Authority is mandated to provide affordable, quality and sustainable housing to low to medium-income earners and therefore remains committed to enabling home ownership to ordinary Fijians.
“The Authority assures the public that its policies and developments of fully serviced residential land lots, model homes and the provision of home loans are guided by inclusivity, sustainability, and the long-term goal of improving housing accessibility for all Fiji citizens.
“Housing Authority is grateful for the support from Government and from the public-private partnerships, to enable home ownership for Fijians,” he said.
