Nakheel extends tenders

12 January 2015

Closing dates for Palm Gateway and Deira Islands is now in March

Dubai-based developer Nakheel has extended the deadline for contractors to submit bids to build the Palm Gateway project and the Night Souq and Boardwalk on its Deira Islands development in Dubai.

The tender deadline was 21 December 2014 for the Deira Island work and 11 January for the Palm Gateway, but both dates have been pushed to 1 March.

The scope of work for the Palm Gateway involves building three high-rise towers at the base of Palm Jumeirah, with an expected cost of AED3bn ($817m). The development will be built on top of an existing parking currently serving the Palm monorail on Al-Sufouh road. Project owner Nakheel has also confirmed the monorail station will remain operational during the construction.

And the Night Souq and Boardwalk comprises a waterfront promenade and a night souq district, which will be divided into four villages, measuring about 1.9 kilometres in length.
