UDC announced in a statement on Tuesday that the two companies will undertake the design, manufacturing, supply, delivery, construction, installation, erection, commissioning and testing of Gewan Island’s marine works package.
The contract was jointly signed by UDC President and CEO Ibrahim Jassim al Othman, Vice Chairman and CEO of UrbaCon Trading and Contracting Company Ramez al Khayyat, and Chairman and Managing Partner of Promar Marine Contracting at The Pearl-Qatar, in the presence of representatives from all firms.
Ibrahim said the total investment value in Gewan Island amounts to approximately QR3 billion.
He added, “The agreement signing demonstrates that Gewan Island’s construction and development works are proceeding according to the plans to complete our latest flagship project by the expected 2022 deadline.
“We have initiated the preparation works for the construction of the Island, whose boardwalk wall will be completed in February 2020.”
Ramez said, “Working with UDC towards Gewan Island project is an imperative and exciting point of our business. We look forward to a fruitful partnership with UDC, where we will strive for the highest quality and success to accomplish this
project”.
Juliana said, “Being awarded by UDC, one of the most reputable real estate firms, means a great deal to our business. We are proud to be part of this development initiative that seeks out a fulfilling, positive and developed future”.
The marine works involve dredging, reclamation fill, and the provision and installation of core, armour, geotextile materials and concrete elements as well as the supply and installation of selected fill and beach sand material, UDC said in the statement.
Gewan Island, UDC’s latest real estate project next to The Pearl-Qatar Island, will span 400,000 sqm.
Once completed, the Island will accommodate 3,500 residents and 3,000 daily visitors and will be home to 712 units, including 639 apartments, 41 waterfront villas (out of which 20 villas are standalone villas), 26 beachfront villas, six island villas, in addition to 11,000 sqm of retail space and a number of multiuse buildings.
The Island, which derives its name from the full-round, pink-tinted and perfectly shaped pearl from Qatar’s marine heritage, will support a mix of property types, catering for different accommodation and investment needs.
The Island will offer its residents a comprehensive living space merging entertainment and retail outlets with smart technologies. It is expected to attract a warm, welcoming and youthful community seeking an urbane and vibrant lifestyle.
The Island will include a golf course, an air-conditioned outdoor crystal walkway which acts like the Island’s spine, green parks and which will attract new brands to Doha. The Island will also be home to entertainment facilities, a sports club and a mosque.
The Island’s design incorporates a number of sustainability features to reduce the use of vehicles and encourage walking and biking through dedicated pedestrian and cycling networks in addition to roads connecting the Island to the public transportation
network.
The Island is also designed to reduce urban heat by incorporating green roofs, shading, and reflective surfaces, where applicable.
Urbacon Trading & Contracting Company is a Qatari-based international construction services company and grade one licensed builder, and Promar Marine Contracting Company is a leading marine works construction firm, founded in Lebanon since 1985 and expanded towards Gulf market since 2007.
