Infrastructure work at Downtown Jebel Ali in Dubai has reached a major milestone, with deep utilities work complete at half of the 200 hectare mixed-use project, master developer Limitless said today.
Sewerage, storm water and water works have been completed at 50 percent of the DJA project, with roads now underway.
Deep utilities work is ongoing at the rest of the development, with anticipated completion this summer. Under the AED 285mn ($77mn) contract, all infrastructure will be finished in 2018.
Limitless Chairman Ali Rashid Lootah said: Downtown Jebel Ali is taking shape, with infrastructure work progressing well. We are well on our way to connecting service to all third party plots.
DJAs strategic location, close to the Jebel Ali Free Zone and within easy reach of Abu Dhabi, Dubai World Central Airport, the Expo 2020 site and new attractions and theme parks, makes it a key area for growth and development. We look forward to working with the investors who share our vision for this unique master community.
DJA stretches 11km along Dubais Sheikh Zayed Road. The project has more than 300 third party plots, on which investors are building a mixture of apartments, hotels, offices and retail developments.
