Abu Dhabi-based Eagle Hills has awarded Lebanon’s Batco Group the contract for marine and grading work at its resort development in Fujairah.

The mixed-use development will be built on a 500-metre stretch of the Fujairah coastline on the UAE’s East coast. It comprises The Address Fujairah Resort + Spa hotel, and The Address Residences Fujairah Resort + Spa. Altogether there will be 198 five star hotel rooms, five beach and five garden villas, and four residential buildings with 170 branded and serviced residences. Completion is scheduled for 2019.

The project is located in the Sharm area of Fujairah to the south of Al-Aqah beach and 21 kilometres from Dibba.

In early December, Eagle Hills appointed Bahrain’s Nass Contracting to carry out the main building work on a residential development in Bahrain known as the Marassi Residences.
