The project is due to begin immediately and will be completed within 18 months. It involves construction of two towers, each with 12 storeys above mezzanine level as well as four levels of basement parking.
A section of the ground floor will house the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank’s flagship retail branch, with the remaining floor area built as shell and core to house additional retail tenants.
Al Habtoor Leighton Group CEO and managing director Laurie Voyer welcomed today’s announcement as another boost for the group’s work in hand, which includes including Abu Dhabi’s Capital Gate tower, Zayed University and the Arzanah medical complex. The group, in joint venture with Murray & Roberts, was awarded the Mafraq Hospital project last month. Al Habtoor Leighton employs approximately 25,000 people, making it one of the largest construction groups in the region. It brings together Leighton Group and Al Habtoor Engineering.
