DBB Contracting LLC has been awarded the contract to build a public access road from Sheikh Zayed Road to Palm Jebel Ali
Nakheel, the Dubai-based world-leading master developer and member of Dubai Holding, has made a significant stride by awarding contracts for infrastructure construction at Palm Jebel Ali, a project of immense importance and potential.
The contract for the construction of a public access road, a crucial component of the Palm Jebel Ali project, has been entrusted to DBB Contracting LLC, a leading civil and marine contractor in the UAE. Their expertise and track record assure us of a high-quality outcome.
The contract for the roadway and lighting enhancements to Al Hesah Street (formerly the old Abu Dhabi Road) at Dubai Waterfront, the mainland which connects to Palm Jebel Ali, has been awarded to Khansaheb Civil Engineering LLC, a subsidiary of Khansaheb Group. With a track record of delivering several of Dubai’s most critical projects, Khansaheb Group is a leading construction and facilities management company.
Palm Jebel Ali, one of Nakheel’s most visionary projects, will not only offer an exceptional breadth of luxury lifestyle amenities but also contribute significantly to the Dubai Economic Agenda D33. This project is a testament to our commitment to the expansion of the emirate and the well-being of its residents and visitors.
Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said: “Today, we proudly announce the appointment of DBB Contracting and Khansaheb Civil Engineering as our partners for the next development phase at Palm Jebel Ali. Alongside these best-in-class partners, we are ensuring the highest standards of urban infrastructure for our customers and contributing to the realisation of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. This partnership reaffirms our commitment to raising the global benchmark in waterfront living, making Palm Jebel Ali a coveted address for approximately 35,000 families in the future.”
Palm Jebel Ali will also provide an additional urban centre to Dubai, forming a primary residential and leisure anchor for the new Expo 2020 urban centre. The island spans 13.4 kilometres of land, with 10.5 million square metres of development. It features 16 fronds, with 110 kilometres of coastline and 91 kilometres of beachfront, contributing to the goals of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan to increase the length of public beaches by 400%. The island will be home to approximately 35,000 families, contributing to the projected net increase in residents, which is set to reach 5.8 million people by 2040.
