Emaar appoints contractor for Dubai Creek Residences

14 January 2016

Construction deal involves building six towers

The local Emaar Properties has awarded the local Al-Basti & Muktha (ABM) a contract to build its Dubai Creek Residences development in Dubai.

Located in Dubai Creek Harbour, the project involves the construction of six residential towers that form part of The Island District. Emaar received offers last year. The project is scheduled for handover in 2018.

MEED reported on 12 January that Emaar had appointed UK-based Faithful+Gould as the programme manager for the Dubai Creek Harbour development.

The Dubai Creek Harbour at the Lagoons is Emaar’s largest scheme in the emirate. The developer says it is three times larger than its Downtown District.

The project was launched by Emaar and another local developer, Dubai Holding, in October 2014. The two companies signed a joint venture agreement to develop the site in 2013.
