The UAE’s Al Nasr Contracting Company has won a contract worth Dh582 million ($158 million) for infrastructure works on The Tiger Woods Dubai, an exclusive 55-million-sq-ft golf community development located within Dubailand.
The contract includes the construction of road works (driveway and car parks), streetlighting and networks for stormwater drainage, sewage and fire fighting facilities.
Al Nasr Contracting is also mandated to set up a reverse osmosis reject water line, in addition to laying water supply networks for the lakes as well as for irrigation purposes.
Abdulla Al Gurg, project director, The Tiger Woods Dubai, said: “The awarding of the infrastructure contract marks the beginning of the next stage of our exclusive golf development. With work in progress, the project is set for rapid progression towards its scheduled timeline for completion.”
The project’s developer Tatweer has already announced a strategic agreement with Lebanese designer Elie Saab for crafting the interiors of a boutique hotel at The Tiger Woods Dubai. With 90 suites and 14 bungalows in sizes varying from 1,300 to 9,500 sq ft, the upscale property will target top-tier clientele and boast a 10,000-sq-ft oasis-style swimming pool, as well as one of Dubai’s most exquisite spas.
The ultra-premium boutique hotel will also feature a fine-dining restaurant, a rooftop outlet and a three-meal casual dining eatery, in addition to an expansive ballroom.
The Tiger Woods Dubai will encompass a professionally-staffed golf academy; a 145,000 sq ft clubhouse with premium amenities; a high-end destination spa; 22 palaces; 75 mansions, and 100 luxury villas and community service facilities.
