Nakheel awards a Dh527m contract to Al Nasr Contracting Company for infrastructure works on Island B at Dubai Islands. The contract covers the delivery of core infrastructure needed to support future residential, hospitality as well as mixed-use projects on the island.
The work to be involved includes roads, paving, potable water networks, electrical and telecom systems, and drainage and sewage infrastructure. The project will also integrate with the district cooling network and be in sync with existing infrastructure on Island A.
“This contract reflects disciplined execution against one of Dubai’s most important coastal masterplans. Infrastructure delivery is the foundation of long-term value creation, and this milestone demonstrates steady progress in transforming Dubai Islands into a fully integrated destination that supports population growth, tourism expansion and economic diversification.”
Khalid Al Malik, CEO, Dubai Holding Real Estate
The works are intended to establish the base required for large-scale development across Island B, making sure that utilities and connectivity are in place before vertical construction commences.
Nakheel’s development is expected to accommodate over 231,000 residents across roughly 49,000 homes, including villas, mansions and apartments, alongside resorts, marinas and retail offerings.
Island B forms a central part of the overall masterplan, which requires comprehensive infrastructure to assist future development phases. Dubai Islands will be connected to the mainland via three bridges linked to the Al Shindagha Corridor.
Dubai International Airport is situated within 10km of the development, while Downtown Dubai is around 15km away, supporting access across key sections of the city.
