Contracts worth over RO 200m awarded

MUSCAT -- Construction at The Wave, Muscat has been progressing at an aggressive pace, as plots that sat vacant only a few monthsago suddenly find themselves supporting the superstructure of new villas and town houses. Over RO 200 million in contracts have been awarded by The Wave reflecting the progress having been made in creating this new community, a press statement said. "Our commitment to growth, timely delivery of projects and customer satisfaction is unshakeable," says Abdulla bin Abbas bin Ahmed, Chairman of Muscat Municipality and Chairman of Board of Directors at The Wave, Muscat.

The Wave, Muscat is constantly working towards successfully aligning their expertise with the Sultanate's vision for the future. Over the past two months the team at The Wave, Muscat has been faced with constant challenges that have risen over the course of a mega-project, from the day to day logistical grind to handling unusual weather conditions; every individual working at The Wave has come together to continue to make this project a success.

The Wave, Muscat, is a joint venture between Waterfront Investments, (representing the Government of the Sultanate of Oman), Majid al Futtaim Group and the National Investment Funds Company (representing the amalgamation of Omani pension funds), and has been officially granted the right to offer full freehold properties to buyers of any nationality. During the design of the project a comprehensive Water Management Plan was put in place in order to manage the possible overflow of culverts and during the recent unusual weather conditions, it was this plan that saved the project from any significant flood damage by channelling and containing flood water within the lake and then discharging it into the best possible place, the ocean, thereby keeping the valued construction areas safe and protected.

Abdulla bin Abbas further added, "We are committed to keeping with stringent quality standards and our development plans for the country. In line with our strategy of transparency in operations, we will also keep our customers posted on the progress in the construction of residential properties and marine works at all different stages of our projects and operations." Currently The Wave stands at the threshold of officially unveiling their three show apartments. Featuring a magnificent view of the ocean, each of the show apartments demonstrate the quality and attention to details that will go into every home in the development as well as a snapshot view of the options and upgrades available for the finishes. The modern, spacious open plan living mixed with an Arabic flavour will also give a feel of the Wave, Muscat lifestyle.

A state-of-the-art Customer Selection Centre will also be opening soon. Carla Lejeune has been appointed Customer Selection Manager. The selection centre will give homeowners the opportunity to have an up-close look at the quality of the finishes as well as the choices available for their interiors. Carla Lejeune said: "For those who won't be able to visit us, we are also working on a website to view the selection and make choices online. Homeowners will also be invited to come and visit their plot as soon as rendering starts on their property".
