Maldives Living Expo 2017 is set to begin on Thursday.

The event, organized by High Rise, will take place at the National Art Gallery, from February 16 to February 18.

Major real estate developers in the Maldives, as well as neighboring Sri Lanka are expected to participate in this year's Expo.

Noting that more and more Maldivians are opting to live abroad, the organizers said that this year's Maldives Living Expo "will showcase options of living from utmost luxury to affordable home options both in the Maldives, as well as abroad."

Maldives Living Expo has been held annually since 2013, and this year marks its fifth year.

With Sealife Global Inc. as its main sponsor, the event is co-sponsored by Apex Reality Group (a subsidiary of TATA Housing), with Ooredoo as communication partner and Allied Insurance providing home insurance services.
