Al Ghurair Contracting bags Nakheel’s Dh117.5m Dragon City contract

Dubai’s master developer Nakheel has awarded a contract of Dh117.5 million to construct a new, 375,000 sqft showroom complex at Dragon City in Dubai.

The developer has appointed Dubai-based Al Ghurair Contracting & Engineering Works to deliver the new retail centre, which will have 18 showrooms and a multi-storey car park for 900 vehicles.  

Construction of the showrooms will begin in two-month time, with completion in Q4 2018.  All of the 118,000 sqft of leasing space has already been booked.

The Dragon City showroom project comes hot on the heels of Dragon Mart 2 - the new Dh1-billion complex that doubled the size of the original Dragon Mart to 3.5 million sqft when it opened earlier this year.

Dragon City, home of the Dragon Mart, is undergoing extensive expansion in the form of new retail, hospitality and residential components that, when complete, will bring the size of the development to 11 million sqft. Its first hotel opened in February, with a construction tender for a second announced earlier this week.  Nakheel is also building a twin-tower apartment complex with 1,120 units at Dragon City.
