The contract for Meydan Group is part of a major urban development project located between Meydan and Al Khail Road, close to the heart of the city. The mall is the first of several phases to the urban development project, which will also include a canal, a tourist port, walking and biking tracks and one of the tallest residential buildings in the world.
The agreement involves Salini Impregilo preparing the area for development by overseeing the excavations and building of the substructures and superstructures for the complex, including the foundations for a ski slope and the concrete support for the steel structure above the mall.
Construction is due to begin this year and finish within 23 months.
