UAE-based Jubail Island Investment Company (JIIC) has awarded a AED40 million ($11 million) contract award to Al Dhafra Pipeline & Contracting Company (APCC) for its new 66-berth Marina in Marfa Al Jubail, with completion set for mid-2023.

 

One of Abu Dhabi’s leading ground engineering contractors, APCC, will be responsible for the construction of the quay wall and associated infrastructure along the marina’s edges and platforms.

 

According to JIIC, the Marina is being built as part of the grand Marina District within Marfa Al Jubail. The waterfront district’s concept and schematic design are in progress with AE7, the renowned design consultant.

 

Expected to be handed over by mid-2024, this new destination will provide residents and visitors with a luxury waterfront destination built along a stretch of shoreline, overlooking the Abu Dhabi Skyline.

 

The AED10-billion ($2.72 billion) Jubail Island project, owned by JIIC and developed and managed by LEAD, will be home to an idyllic collection of six residential village estates located between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island.

 

The district within Marfa Al Jubail, set to launch in October, will consist of 41 elegantly designed townhouses and 18 spacious apartments, located in one building block, amid some of the UAE’s most beautiful landscapes and surrounded by mangroves and wildlife.

 

Offering residents a relaxed way of living, the townhouses will feature two typologies including G+1 and G+2, with both the townhouses and apartments available with up to three bedrooms, offering up to 290 square metres of space. 

 

As well as luxury residential space, Marfa Al Jubail will offer unrivaled amenities, anchored by a luxury Yacht Club complex and boardwalk containing restaurants, alfresco cafés, and eateries. All of which will offer a haven for boating enthusiasts as well as friends and families looking to enjoy the bustling waterfront.

 

On the new contract, Engineer Abdulla Saeed Al Shamsi, Operations Corporate Director for JIIC, said: "We are thrilled to have officially signed the contract with APCC for Marfa Al Jubail. Set to be completed in mid-2023, the Marina will offer residents a holistic lifestyle within Jubail Island."

 

"Marfa Al Jubail will be part of the array of social attractions and amenities within the island, that is unlike anything else in the capital," noted Al Shamsi.

 

"The contract signing reinforces JIIC’s commitment to developing a landmark destination and a premier marine community that is synonymous with luxury living," he added.
