Union minister for Home and Cooperation Amit Shah on Thursday inaugurated a ₹325 crore MLA residential complex built at Gandhinagar, the state capital of Gujarat. 

Constructed by the State Government’s Roads and Buildings Department, the MLA residential complex in Sector 17 covers a total area of 28,576 square meters. Each residence, with a spacious area of 238.45 square meters (over 2500 square feet), includes three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, an office, and a servant’s room, stated an official release. 

It includes a spacious garden, a multipurpose hall with a 300-person capacity, a community hall, a swimming pool, a gymnasium, a canteen (dining hall), indoor sports facilities, a dispensary for medical care, and a provision store. Furthermore, to ensure adequate parking within the complex, each unit has been allotted two parking spaces—one in the basement and one on the ground floor. All internal roads on the campus have been constructed using RCC. Furthermore, considering future housing requirements, of the 12 existing blocks totalling 216 residences, 10 blocks (180 units) have been furnished with both fixed and movable furniture, while the remaining two blocks (36 units) have been equipped with only fixed furniture.

Notably, in 1970-71, residences for members of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly were built in Sector 17, Gandhinagar, each covering 41.46 square meters and featuring one bedroom, a drawing room, a kitchen, and a toilet. Over the years, as the need for additional housing grew, in 1990-91, a total of 168 three-story residences were built in Sector 21 across 14 blocks. Each unit covered 85.30 square meters and featured two bedrooms, a drawing room, and a kitchen, the release added.
