Dubai South awards contracts worth $270mn

Dubai South has awarded contracts worth $270mn for a number of project developments, most notably in the city’s Residential District, adjoining the Expo 2020 Dubai site.

The infrastructure and design contracts have been awarded to noted industry leaders, including Parsons Corporation, Atkins Global, Studio International Architects, Al Nasr, Tristar Engineering & Construction and the US-based RNL Design.

The overall infrastructure development of the Residential District will be completed in phases.

Work is already well underway by Al Nasr on the first section of the Residential District’s infrastructure, which will be completed by the fourth quarter of 2016.

Tristar Engineering & Construction has been awarded the infrastructure construction for the remaining areas of phase one, with this phase scheduled to be completed by Q4, 2017.

This will pave the way for over 40 developers to expedite their developments in Dubai South’s Residential District.

Atkins Global, Studio International Architects and RNL Design are contracted to oversee the masterplan and product design for the mixed-use development within the Residential District, which includes apartments, townhouses, schools, community facilities, entertainment, retail and hospitality.

In addition to awarding contracts for The Residential District, Dubai South has awarded Al Nasr with the constructing of infrastructure in Dubai South’s Logistics District.
