The company has also received bids for the main construction package, with seven proposals under assessment and a contract due to be awarded in around 45 days’ time, the company said in a statement.
Al Khail Avenue will span nearly 200,000 square metres, with over 110,000 sq m of leasable space. There will be 350 shops, a multi-screen cinema, a wide range of cafes and restaurants and a multi-storey car park with 4,400 spaces, it stated.
