ABU Dhabi’s Tourism Development and Investment Company (TDIC) has called for pre-qualification bids from contractors interested in building a major residential project at Saadiyat Island.

TDIC, which is the master developer of Saadiyat Island, plans to build nine new multi-storey residential buildings on three plots with a total area of 61,000 sq m.

The scope of works involves building podium underground parking, structural, architectural and MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) works as well as all finishes.

The main contractor is also expected to carry out testing and commissioning, external works (including landscaping) and gaining all of the necessary approvals, a TDIC spokesman said.

Early-stage works for the substructure (including shoring and piling) are being awarded under a separate contract for which the closing date has now passed.
