DUBAI- Dubai-based property developer, Omniyat, has appointed Transguard Group, the UAE-based business services provider, to handle facilities management (FM) services across its portfolio of commercial Business Bay properties, including The Opus, which was designed by internationally-renowned architect, the late Dame Zaha Hadid, DBE.
Under the terms of the three-year, AED14.5 million contract, mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) maintenance, security, cleaning and soft services, will be outsourced to Transguard. The agreement is part of a much larger consolidation of Omniyats service requirements across the developers commercial Business Bay portfolio, which comprises The Opus by Zaha Hadid, One By Omniyat, Bayswater and The Binary towers. In total, 87 Transguard Facilities Management specialists will be deployed to deliver the contract.
Lynne Wylie, Associate Director Property Management, Clarity Owners Association Management LLC, said, "Prior to the completion of The Opus by Zaha Hadid, we considered which company should be appointed for the facilities management for not just The Opus, but all of the buildings managed by Clarity for Omniyat. We knew it had to be a company that directly provided all services. There are a limited number of companies in the UAE that have the capabilities to manage the prestigious buildings which Omniyat develop.
"Transguard have been in the market for a long time, and we trust they have the capabilities to deliver fully integrated facilities management services to the Omniyat buildings."The near 100 metre building sits on a plot size of over 151,000sqft with built up area of 2 million sqft. The tower will comprise a hotel, serviced residences and offices. Amenities include a swimming pool, gym and spa as well as a range of F&B outlets, an internationally recognised nightclub and a range of meeting and conference facilities.
Greg Ward, Managing Director, Transguard, said, "We have been working closely with Omniyat to design a bespoke IFS solution that addresses the current operational issues and concerns, and will enhance service delivery. Our integrated approach to building management positions Transguard as Omniyats FM service partner of choice, providing superior service and both direct and indirect cost benefits." The latest addition to the Omniyat portfolio, The Opus by Zaha Hadid is located within minutes of the leisure and business districts of DIFC, Downtown Dubai, Dubai World Trade Centre and d3.
One of the most anticipated additions to Dubais skyline in recent years, The Opus was designed by Dame Zaha Hadid, DBE, who was celebrated for progressive designs that pushed the boundaries of architecture and urbanisation.
