Dubai: Al Barari Development Company yesterday awarded Al Naboodah Engineering Services the infrastructure works for the initial phase of the Dh6.6 billion Al Barari project, a statement said.
Three hundred of the most lavish villas to be found in the UAE will be constructed on 9.2 million square feet of land at the royal enclave of Nad Al Sheba.
Al Naboodah has been contracted to provide among others, the roads, the high voltage electrical network, irrigation, drainage and sewerage network, as well as the waterways and lakes for the project.
"There are many unique elements to the project which sets us apart from other property developments in the UAE," said Zaal Mohammad Zaal, Chairman of Al Barari Development Company.
"Not only will the villas offer the ultimate in luxury living, but only 18 per cent of the development will be built up. The remaining 82 per cent has been earmarked for themed botanical gardens, lakes, water ways and walkways, and as a consequence, each villa will be no more than a few steps from a botanical garden."
The development is shaped like a tree with branches and leaves whereby there are 30 leaves (clusters), in the first phase consisting of between nine and 12 villas per leaf.
Each villa will consist of five to seven bedrooms with unrestricted views of the botanical gardens, waterways and the adjoining wildlife reserve.
Matar Al Naboodah, Group Managing Director of Al Naboodah Engineering, said, "We regard ourselves more as a partner in this project rather than a supplier, as the Al Barari development promises to change the face of the property landscape in Dubai. It is important we lay the right foundation to enable our client to be able to offer unsurpassed levels of quality to its discerning clients."
