Local developer Nakheel has tendered the construction contract to its clubhouse and retail centre at its Jumeirah Park development in Dubai.

The retail centre will have a supermarket, health and beauty outlets and convenience stores. The clubhouse facilities include an Olympic-size swimming pool, 16,000 square foot gym and spa. The buildings are set to open in 2019.

The Jumeirah Park Clubhouse is the largest of Nakheel’s growing collection of community clubs across Dubai, complementing existing and upcoming clubs at Jumeirah Islands, Jebel Ali, Al Furjan, Warsan Village and Jumeirah Village Circle.

Nakheel is also building larger retail centres. Earlier in April it awarded the local Metac General Contracting Company the AED595m ($162m) contract to build its Nad al-Sheba Mall in Dubai.

The mall will have a total area of 1.4 million square feet. It will have 200 shops including two supermarkets – Spinneys and Union Co-op, department stores, a multi-screen cinema, medical clinic, fitness centre and restaurants and cafes. The total leasable area will be 500,000 square feet. Nakheel says the project has a total development value of AED825m. It is due for completion in 2021.

Nad al-Sheba Mall is part of Nakheel Mall’s AED22bn expansion that will take its total retail space to over 17 million sq ft.
