A contract to construct a marina promenade and beach park at Najmat, the $272m, 165ha development on the southern shore of Reem Island in Abu Dhabi, has been awarded to Gulf Dunes Landscaping & Agricultural Services by Reem Investments.

The contract includes construction of a 1km-long promenade, a green amphitheatre lined with trees and shrubs not usually seen in the UAE, and a white sand beach. Work will begin immediately, with completion by Q1 2012.

“The marina will be home to 167 berths, a food-and-beverage island and a 3km-long walkway of street cafés and restaurants that stretch from the Promenade to Canal Walk,” said Paul Ashton, development director at Reem Developers, the master developer of Najmat and the real-estate arm of Reem Investments.
