New Aldar project for Boskalis

01 November 2005

Aldar Properties, a premier real estate development, management and investment company headquartered in Abu Dhabi, has awarded a dredging and related marine works contract to Boskalis Westminster Middle East, as the first stage in the development of a waterfront resort and residential complex on the western edge of Abu Dhabi Island.

The dredging works, designed by Cansult Limited, have already started and will be completed in the second quarter of 2006. Full details of this latest development by Aldar will be announced at a major launch event later this year, says Aldar chairman Ahmed Al Sayegh.
“We are currently in discussions with a number of hotel and resort operators and it would be premature to release any details of this development until those discussions are concluded,” he says.
“However, when we do announce the development you can be sure that it will be truly breathtaking and one which will be the first of its kind in the region.” he says.
Aldar’s CEO Christopher Sims allayed any environmental concerns over the project. “We are working in full compliance with the directives of the Environmental Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD) for this development, to ensure that all our marine works will preserve the natural habitat while allowing residents an opportunity to appreciate the beauty and serenity of the environment. Boskalis Westminster clearly demonstrated their commitment to adhere to these important directives and this was a pivotal point in awarding the tender to them,” he says.
