Nakheel picks UAE consultants for $2bn community project

DUBAI, September 3, 2016

Dubai master developer Nakheel is drawing on the talent and expertise of home-grown engineering and architectural consultants to help deliver its new Dh7.5-billion ($2.04 billion) Jebel Ali Gardens community.

Nakheel has tasked six Dubai-based, Emirati-led companies with overseeing the design and construction supervision of the sprawling development, where 42 towers will house 40,000 people in nearly 10,000 apartments, said a statement from the company.

The selected ones are Meecon (Middle East Engineering Consultants); Golden Square Engineering; Adnan Saffarini Office; Arif & Bintoak Consulting Architects & Engineers; Design Center Architects & Engineers Consultants and Bel-Yoahah Architectural & Engineering Consultants

A construction tender will be released in the first quarter of 2017, with anticipated completion in Q1 2020, said the statement.  

The six-way consultancy appointment reflects Nakheel’s policy of engaging local engineers and designers – for both in-house and consultancy roles – to deliver its vast range of new projects, it added.

Chairman Ali Rashid Lootah said: "Nakheel itself is a home-grown developer which has rapidly become one of the world’s biggest names in real estate.  As we embark on a new phase in our growth, we are proud to support Emirati companies to help us achieve our business goals and reinforce our positon as a global leader in creative, innovative engineering."

“We are delighted to name these six firms as the consultants who will work with our in-house design, engineering and construction teams to deliver what is set to become one of Dubai’s largest, most desirable residential communities,” he added.

Jebel Ali Gardens is one of a growing number of developments in Nakheel’s residential leasing portfolio – a key focus of the company’s new business strategy – which aims to double the number of existing units for lease to nearly 36,000, said the developer in its statement.

Designed for people wanting quality, affordable accommodation with convenient community facilities, Jebel Ali Gardens is set on a 5.5-million-sq-ft site – of which around 20 per cent will be communal green space – with a built-up area of 19 million sq ft.

The 10,000 apartments, ranging from one- to three-bedroom units, will be set in over a million sq ft of lush, landscaped gardens featuring a central park, swimming pools, jogging track, football fields and tennis and basketball courts.

There will also be three mosques accommodating up to 3,000 people between them, said the statement.

The 42 buildings, ranging from 18 to 29 floors, will be grouped into 12 blocks, each featuring a gym with panoramic views over the landscaped grounds.  There will also be ground-floor retail space in each building, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
