THE PROJECT This project comprises two new-build, high-end, luxury, beach front villas located within a private gated community located in Abu Dhabi’s prestigious cultural district on Saadiyat Island. Each villa is over 2,500 sqm (GFA) and are very high specification – the lighting alone comprises over 10% of the build cost and acoustics will be to 5-star hotel standard. The villas are located on adjacent land plots and have been registered within the ADM MEPs system as a single plot, for purposes of building permitting. The works comprised the base build and full fitting out works including FF&E. OUR APPOINTMENT We are appointed directly based on the recommendation of the Master Developer, due to our work leading the delivery of the main gated community development in the district and our accumulated knowledge of the legacy challenges related to authority permitting. We are also leading the procurement of the loose furniture of which many items are catalogue special runs or custom made. Our knowledge and strong working relationship with the Master Developer, built over several years, is also very important in securing their approvals for the works and coordinating logistics alongside other properties that are simultaneously being completed and fitted out. The appointment commenced from concept design and runs through to completion.
THE BENEFIT Due to COVID-19 restrictions and the general uncertainty of travel caused by the pandemic, the client is unable to base themselves in UAE and are therefore relying heavily on our expertise. We earned our client’s trust by pro actively managing the coordination of geographically separated teams and using our wider expertise including reviews of buildability, reliability access and maintenance. The successful completion of this project is not only important to the client but also to the master developer, as it will be amongst the first fully completed villas within the prestigious gated community, the other villas being completed to shell and core.
