Tameer invites firms to express interest in towers

30 April 2009
Local developer Tameer Holding has invited companies to express interest in the contract to build its Tameer Towers project in Abu Dhabi.

In March, Tameer cancelled a AED6bn ($1.6bn) contract to build the development with a joint venture of the local Al-Habtoor Engineering, South Africa's Murray & Roberts and Saudi Arabia-based Al-Rahji Contracting.

The project is located on Reem island and involves building six towers between the sea and the Central Park area of the Shams Abu Dhabi development.

The main buildings are a 74-floor, 300-metre-high office tower in the commercial area, a 21-floor hotel and apartment tower, two 50-floor residential towers and two 30-floor residential towers.

The total built-up area is 915,000 square metres (MEED 23:3:09).

The US' Hill International is the project manager and France's Bureau Veritas is construction manager.
