What sets this area apart

Salwa plots are residential and confined to moderate sizes, with most built villas comprising a ground floor and one or two upper storeys. Basement excavation reaches a fairly consistent depth of two point seven to three metres below finished floor level. The area is relatively established, and neighbouring buildings are closely spaced, requiring soil and existing foundation surveys before any excavation begins, plus installation of a robust side drainage system to protect existing walls and foundations.

Salwa sits in Hawalli governorate, near Salwa Co-op and Mishref Park.

Basements in Salwa require an effective side drainage system to protect neighbouring buildings from water ingress.
