Riyadh – Mubasher: The Red Sea Development Company (TRSDC) has awarded contracts to Saudi company Al Bawani and Switzerland’s Blumer Lehmann to support the development plans and structural work of its luxury hotels and resorts.
The two companies will play pivotal roles in the construction of hotels across The Red Sea Project, according to a press release on Wednesday.
Al Bawani will be responsible for civil and structural works across 40 hotel villas on the Southern Dunes site, while Blumer Lehmann will be responsible for timber construction planning and fabrication, as well as supply works for a hotel situated on Ummahat Al Shaykh Island.
“It is exciting to award these contracts, which signify the start of a new phase for us as we move into the build of our stunning resorts both inland and on one of our key islands. We feel confident that Al Bawani and Blumer Lehmann will help turn our vision into a reality,” said CEO of TRSDC, John Pagano.
The two awards reflect the significant progress being made at the destination. Work in The Red Sea Project is on track to welcome the first guests by the end of 2022 when the international airport and the first four hotels will open. The remaining 12 hotels planned for phase one will open in 2023.
Upon completion in 2030, the destination will comprise 50 resorts, offering up to 8,000 hotel rooms and around 1,300 residential properties across 22 islands and six inland sites. Moreover, it will include luxury marinas, golf courses, as well as entertainment and leisure facilities.
