DLR Group Awarded Jubail Island, Abu Dhabi Project
Jubail Island Investment Company (JIIC) has awarded a major master planning and architectural services contract to leading design expert DLR Group for the mixed-use (commercial, retail and residential) community, Town Centre, coming up within its AED5 billion ($1.36 billion) flagship project, Jubail Island, in Abu Dhabi. The mixed-use part of the development, estimated at AED750 million, is a corner stone to create a balanced community addressing the needs of residents and nearby communities. The built-up area for the Town Centre is 1 million sq ft, said the Emirati developer. Poised to become Jubail Island’s main commercial and cosmopolitan hub, the Town Centre will include facilities such as a community centre, F&B and retail outlets, a family entertainment centre, a worship centre, a clinic, a supermarket, a business centre, and nurseries; with generous parking to accommodate increased vehicle turnout expected during various functions that will be planned throughout the year. In addition, the Town Centre will be connected by a short walk through a landscaped pedestrian spine to a beach club surrounded by upscale and trendy kiosks. The scope of the work includes the design for the Town Centre area that includes a range of apartments of varying sizes to meet different user needs, retail establishments, office park with separate office buildings sized between 700 and 1,000 sqm, and the support facilities needed to sustain a dynamic community. The development seamlessly integrates with the site’s adjacent low-density residential neighbourhoods that intertwine within natural surroundings that feature untouched mangroves forests and unique local fauna. Jubail Island is a designated freehold investment zone in Abu Dhabi that will comprise a mix of serviced plots, high-end and mid-range properties as well as retail, office park and F&B outlets, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
