Dubai: Nakheel said on Sunday it has signed the construction contract for The Boardwalk, a new Dh150 million waterfront attraction that will run the full 11 kilometre length of Palm Jumeirah’s crescent.

Overseas AST Company LLC has been appointed to construct The Boardwalk with work set to begin by the end of November, Nakheel said in a statement.

The Boardwalk includes an East and West Pier — each stretching 100 metres out to sea — featuring glass-encased cafes and restaurants.
