Dubai – Mubasher: The UAE’s master developer Nakheel on Wednesday announced that was moving forward with infrastructure work at Madinat Al Arab.
Located at Waterfront in Jebel Ali, the development spans 522 hectares and boasts 266 mixed-use land plots, the company said in a statement.
The developer has appointed Dubai-based international consultants Dar Al Handasah for infrastructure design, engineering and site supervision services at Madinat Al Arab.
Infrastructure design for four of the development’s five zones is almost complete, Nakheel revealed, adding that the infrastructure construction tender is due for release in the second quarter of 2017.
“Madinat Al Arab’s strategic location, within easy reach of Dubai World Central Airport, the Expo 2020 site, recently-opened attractions and theme parks and the UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, makes it a significant area for growth and development,” a Nakheel spokesman has said.
Also in the area, Nakheel has completed the nearby Veneto and Badrah communities, which feature nearly 800 homes and a community retail centre, due to open this year, the statement showed.
“Nearby, the sprawling 42-tower Jebel Ali Gardens community for 40,000 people, is under development,” the company added.
