Schon awards Bin Sabt Building Contracting Dhs500m contract
- February 11, 2009, 11:26 am
Schon Properties is consolidating development on their Dhs3bn Dubai Lagoon project, signing an Dhs500m contract with Bin Sabt Building Contracting L.L.C, a large and well-established contracting company, to handle the construction of remaining zones, four and seven.
Schon Properties is confident that through the appointment of Bin Sabt, progress on the project will be stepped up significantly, as explained by Asher H Schon, Vice President of Schon Properties, ‘We have been intensely deliberating over the search for a competent and efficient contractor to handle the remaining areas of Dubai Lagoon and are thrilled to be joining forces with Bin Sabt, who have a solid background of high quality work and timely delivery.’
‘Now that the entire project has been assigned for construction, we are re-doubling our efforts to ensure we fulfill our commitments to investors in the best possible time,’ he added
Joining Powerline Gulf and Belhasa Engineering Contracting Company, which are already in progress within other zones on site, Bin Sabt will be the third and final construction contractor for the large-scale residential project, which will begin unit deliveries at the end of 2009.
Due to begin mobilizing on-site in late February, Bin Sabt will first prepare for construction by facilitating all enabling works across zones four and seven, which is expected to take around two months. Bin Sabt will be asked to construct the chilled water room structure (ETS Room), which is located next to the mosque and also the substructure under the mosque, up to and including the ground floor of the mosque.
Fully-fledged construction will start on zone four, which consists of 497 apartments, followed by zone seven, which consists of 490 apartments as well as a shopping mall with a built up area of 109,263 square foot. Completion on both areas is pegged for 2011, at which time the entire Dubai Lagoon community will be completed.
Ahmed Suliman, Managing Director of Bin Sabt commented on the agreement, ‘We are looking forward to working with Schon Properties to realize our common goal of completing and delivering Dubai Lagoon to the highest standards, backed by our experience in the region and commitment to each and every project.’
Bin Sabt has been engaged in the UAE construction industry since 1973. Specialising in the field of building construction they have successfully completed many large residential, commercial and high rise buildings, as well as luxury villas, warehouses and schools. Led by a highly qualified and experienced senior management team, Bin Sabt are currently working on a number of projects throughout Dubai and Sharjah.
Once completed, Dubai Lagoon will be one of the cities most picturesque and fully integrated residential communities, close to the action of new Dubai and the upcoming Al Maktoum International Airport, but contained within its own peaceful enclave next to the Dubai Investment Park development.
Set around the glittering waters of a central lagoon, fringed with meticulously designed landscaping and interlacing pathways, the community will feature family friendly facilities such as parks, children’s play areas, swimming pools and a charming community retail and café district, where residents can shop for a variety of products or simply stop in for a coffee with neighbours.
One of the most affordable residential offerings in Dubai today, Dubai Lagoon’s favourable payment plans allow easier access to property ownership for many would be end-users who are looking for a mid to long term investment. With zones four and seven about to commence construction, Schon Properties has released eighty units within these zones, which are now available for purchase.
