Construction of Mamsha Al Saadiyat, the first residential development within the Saadiyat Cultural District in Abu Dhabi, is well underway.
A joint venture of San Jose Contracting and Pivot Engineering & General Contracting, was awarded the AED 1.25bn contract in April.
The pair has been onsite since May and work on the projects sub-structure and basement and podium levels are on track to complete by the first quarter of 2017 with the whole development scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2018.
Amna Alalkeem Al Zaabi, Mamsha Al Saadiyat Project Manager at TDIC, said: We are working very closely with our contractors to monitor advancement of work on the ground and ensuring its all done to the highest standards.
Sufian H. Al Marzooqi, CEO of master developer TDIC, said the company would release more residential units to the market in the near future, with plans to start leasing retail and F&B space to the market in Q4 of 2016.
Mamsha Al Saadiyat, a 1.4 kilometre beachfront mixed-use project, will feature nine low-rise residential buildings with a total number of 462 units alongside retail and other community amenities.
The development is located in Abu Dhabis future cultural hub, featuring three world-class museums designed by Pritzker Prize winning architects: Louvre Abu Dhabi, Zayed National Museum, and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi.
