The local/Belgian Bel Hasa Six Construct has been awarded an estimated AED125m ($34m) contract to build a new theme park in Dubai.

The project, known as Hub Zero, will be built in the Satwa area close to Sheikh Zayed Road and the Downtown Burj Khalifa development.

Bel Hasa Six Construct’s contract involves the construction of the building that will house the theme park. The local Riva Group of Companies is delivering the rides and attractions.

The project will be built behind Meraas’ Avenue development. The local/UK Al-Futtaim Carillion was awarded the contract to build the first phase of the scheme in December 2011.

The three-phase retail development will be spread over 1.1 kilometres and will be built on the crossroads of Al-Wasl Road and Safa Road. The consultant for the scheme is the local Dewan Architects & Engineers.
