Dubai-based ultra-luxury developer Omniyat has appointed a joint venture of Roberts Constructions and Impresa Pizzarotti & C as the contractor for its Dorchester Collection project in Marasi, Dubai Canal.
Work on the site has already begun and the project is due for completion in 2020. The development package is valued at Dh2 billion ($544.52 million).
Situated on one of the widest part of the Dubai Water Canal in the Marasi community, the development includes two towers, which will house the luxury five-star hotel and exclusive residences, high-end food and beverage and retail outlets as well as a surrounding mixed-use precinct.
Designed by renowned architectural firm Foster + Partners, the site includes Dorchester Collection’s first hotel in the region and luxury residences managed by the iconic hospitality brand, named Private Residences by Dorchester Collection.
Mark Phoenix, managing director at Omniyat, said: “We always select the best partners that help us execute our vision. I have no doubt that this joint venture will yield immaculate results.
“Omniyat is known for creating bespoke developments of the highest quality, with relentless attention to detail when it comes to luxury finishes and appointments. We are also honoured to deliver this project for such an esteemed brand as Dorchester Collection,” said Graeme Robson, chief executive, Roberts Constructions.
