Tameer forms alliance to build Abu Dhabi towers

04 June 2008
Sharjah-based Tameer Holding has formed an alliance with the joint venture of the local Al-Habtoor Engineering Enterprises, South Africa's Murray & Roberts Contractors (Middle East) and Saudi-based Al-Rahji Contracting for the construction of the Tameer Towers project on Reem island in Abu Dhabi.

The estimated AED7bn ($1.9bn) project involves building six towers between the sea and the Central Park area of the Shams Abu Dhabi development.

The centrepiece of the project is a 74-floor, 300-metre-tall office tower in the commercial area, along with a 21-floor hotel and apartment tower. The residential district includes two 50-floor and two 30-floor towers. The total built-up area is 915,000 square metres.

Dubai-based Arabian Foundations was sub-contracted for the enabling package in October 2007 (MEED 17:4:08).
