UAE developer Aldar Properties said it has started handover of all the 636 apartments within the first three towers at The Bridges on Reem Island in Abu Dhabi, while construction is advancing on the remaining three towers in the development.
The Bridges will feature pop-up shops, a café, and outdoor fitness equipment. Also on the island, Reflection, a 374-apartment development, is making strong progress and is almost a quarter complete, stated the developer.
Good progress is being made across all of Aldar’s developments on Yas Island, said Aldar, while providing an update on projects under development across Abu Dhabi.
The first two precincts at Yas Acres, the flagship golf and waterfront villa and townhouse development, have commenced handover to customers. Final installations are currently taking place in precinct D, with upcoming activity focused on laying asphalt and undertaking snagging works, it added.
Aldar has also made virtual home tours available for its customers. With numerous homes being handed over, specialised disinfection services are also taking place in line with its efforts to ensure a safe and seamless handover.
Construction has passed the half-way point for Aldar’s Water’s Edge development at the heart of Yas Island, which consists of 13 mid-rise residential blocks and comprises studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments.
Onsite activity at the Lea development has focused on general surveying and ground preparation as well as trench lowering for sewerage and drainage for the 238 land plots.
Rashed Al Omaira, the Executive Director (Commercial), said: “The Bridges brings the very best of Reem’s canal, park, waterfront and city skyline views, and Yas Acres emphasises a sense of community with leisure at the heart of everyday life.”
Progress continues at the Alreeman community in Al Shamkha, passing the 25 per cent completion milestone. The mixed-use development has seen deep utilities installed, which will continue this quarter alongside installation of shallow utilities.
According to him, preliminary design approvals have been obtained for Aldar’s Alreeman II community. This quarter, detailed design will be completed, with earth works and sewer network installation set to commence.
The Alghadeer development has reached the half-way point, with hollow core structure for all residences complete, he added.
