Dubai Al Futtaim Carillion, part of the Al Futtaim Group, has won a contract to build Phase 1 of a retail strip — The Avenue, being developed by Meraas Development.

The Avenue is a three-phase project spanning 1.1 kilometres at a prime location in Dubai. Launched at Cityscape Dubai 2011, phase 1 of The Avenue will take shape at the intersection of Al Wasl Road and Safa Road.

Upon its completion in the third quarter of 2012, the 350-metre retail strip will include a dynamic mix of top retail brands as well as convenience stores and food and beverage outlets. The project’s three phases will extend up to Shaikh Zayed Road.

The agreement was signed between Omar Delawar, Chief Technical Officer of Meraas, and Zafar Khan, Finance Director of Al Futtaim Carillion. Senior officials from Dewan Architects and Engineers, consultants to the project, also attended.

Backed by their track record and experience, we are confident of shaping ‘The Avenue’ into a distinctive project that will add a new dimension to Dubai’s world-renowned retail landscape,” a Meraas spokesperson said.
