Abu Dhabi: Dubai South, the rebranded Dubai World Central, announced it has awarded a contract worth Dh300 million to Tristar Engineering and Construction for infrastructure works at its flagship Residential District.

The contract mandates the delivery of the completed infrastructure works of Phase 1 and 2 of the Residential District in Dubai South by the fourth quarter of 2017.

The scope of the work spans 2.2 square kilometres. According the contract, Tristar will carry out complete community infrastructure work. This includes road works, potable water network, sewerage network, storm water drainage network, combined irrigation and firefighting network, district cooling network, electrical works, telecommunication works, road lighting, gas network, and spare ducts.

Strong pipeline

“This award goes a long way in boosting the confidence of our stakeholders, and will ensure a strong pipeline of launches and deliveries into the real estate market, beginning this September at Cityscape,” said Khalifa Al Zaffin, Executive Chairman of Dubai Aviation City Corporation.

The announcement on Sunday follows news that came out two weeks ago that Dubai South awarded contracts worth Dh1 billion for a number of project developments, most notably in the city’s Residential District adjoining the Expo 2020 site.

The contracts will pave the way for over 40 developers to expedite their developments in the Residential District.
