Property for sale in Nouakchott

Views on the Nouakchott real estate :

The centric township has few or no buildings of historic value, as the city of Nouakchott only was a marginal fishing town until it became a colonial administration centre in 1957. Constructing of the city started in 1958, and due to much space and few inhabitants, Nouakchott became spread out and with very few tall buildings.

At the same time, the Mauritanian government has signaled that id foresees to make available new properties to those living in the city centre. Residents were to be placed in new residential areas outside the centre in areas yet to be singled out. Residents to a large degree included army staff and retired officers or their widows, who would be given assistance in renting new homes. But also private property owners in the township were to get proper compensation.

In expectance of the works to commence, the Mauritanian Ministry of Infrastructure and Transports announced the prohibition of "all real estate transactions and the prohibition of authorising constructions in this zone starting from the heralding of the decree."
