The National Housing Authority is building 2,600 flats in two projects in Dhaka's Mirpur targeted towards lower and middle income buyers.
Most of these flats have already been sold, and only about 300 are left.
Housing and Public Works Minister Mosharraf Hossain, who visited the two projects Shapnanagar 1 and 2 in Duaripara on Monday, was told that both projects were almost complete.
Buyers have filed around 450 applications for the purchase of the remaining 300.
The NHA said the projects still needed rainwater harvesting systems and waste and sewage treatment plants.
The firm implementing these plants said some of the water recovered from sewage treatment would be made drinkable and some of it will be used for other purposes such as car washing and watering the gardens.
Kitchen waste will be treated to make compost and biogas. The compost will be sold and the gas will be sent back to the kitchens as fuel.
The minister inspected the projects and inquired about the progress of work.
