Dubai: Danube Building Materials, the construction, building materials and shop fitting company, on Thursday launched its Dh55 million retail complex in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Danube Buildmart is located on the Makkah (Madina) highway in the Sulamaniya area. The customer-friendly retail complex is the first-of-its-kind facility that caters to interior designers, contractors and homeowners, and also marks Danube's largest expansion initiative into the kingdom.
The 200,000 square foot facility, which also includes a 30,000 square foot warehouse, is part of the Buildmart chain of retail complexes, which was launched in the UAE and Bahrain.
It offers a range of over 15,000 products in 24 sections - from chandeliers, venetian blinds, light fittings, kitchens, bathroom, tiles, shower rooms, jacuzzis, to flooring for ceramic and wood, ceilings, doors and marble wall panelling.
With growing demand from end-users, suppliers and contractors, Danube also has plans to expand its presence in the kingdom through two new dedicated factories for gypsum ceiling tiles and melamine pressing units.
