Arada has awarded the main construction contract for W Residences at Dubai Harbour to the UAE-based Engineering Contracting Company (LLC).
The AED1.55 billion agreement covers the delivery of all three towers of the luxury waterfront development. Early works are already underway, with enabling activities such as excavation and piling having commenced following the award of a AED51 million contract to APCC Piling & Marine Contracting.
The main contract includes the construction of 490 branded luxury residences across three towers, along with premium amenities within a landscaped connecting podium. Valued at AED5 billion, the development will feature a range of apartments and duplexes, including rooftop penthouses with private pools.
Leadership comments Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada, described the contract award as a major milestone for one of the UAE’s most anticipated waterfront destinations. He highlighted that the project will blend striking architecture with marina-side living, offering panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf and Dubai’s skyline.
Amenities and operations – Operated by Marriott International, the 40-storey LEED Silver-certified complex will include Dubai’s longest infinity pool, a 40,000-square-foot fitness centre, residents’ lounges, a music studio, sports simulator, games room, private cinema, guest suites, dining outlets, and co-working spaces.
Smart homes and location – All residences will feature smart home technology, branded interiors, and floor-to-ceiling windows. The development overlooks Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, and Bluewaters Island, forming part of the broader Dubai Harbour master plan by Shamal Holding, which incorporates retail, hospitality, cruise, and yachting facilities.
