It was funded by Strategic Command and implemented through the Defence Capital Infrastructure Programme.

The Lagan Iacovou JV will deliver this £48m project as part of the APOLLO extended programme of work, which has been designed to improve the resilience of UK military assets located in Cyprus.

The project will feature three- and four-bedroom residences that have all been designed to be sustainable, with amenities such as solar panels, air-source heat pumps, and electric vehicle (EV) charging ports.

These new homes have also been conceived to be seismically compatible, or in other words, capable of enduring earthquakes.
