Four hundred ninety beneficiaries were able to acquire apartments in the framework of this housing program.

Apartments were sold to the young professionals of the target group at a price which is considerably lower than the market price. Multi-apartment buildings constructed at the Tsarav Aghbyur 55/17 and 55/20 are made of reinforced concrete with tuff and basalt facing. They comprise 14 stories, underground parking for 112 vehicles, and modern street lighting. The adjacent territory has been beautified, communication lines have been renovated, and green zones have been created. To provide for personal services of the tenants, a trade and services center has been constructed in the backyard of the compound. Over 85 percent of the apartments submitted to the beneficiaries have been totally renovated.

The total cost of the housing program is close to 10.8 billion AMD. Nearly 700 workers were employed for the realization of this project.
