Each 400-square-foot apartment includes a drawing room, kitchen, bedroom, toilet, and bathroom. The complex also boasts essential infrastructure such as paved roads, a drinking water supply, a rainwater harvesting system, storm water drains, and a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) with a capacity of 1.66 MLD.

Beneficiaries contributed ₹1.13 lakh or ₹1 lakh depending on the type of houses. Present at the inauguration were Thoothukudi Collector K.
