Nakheel awards AED35mn construction contract for Jumeirah Park facilities

Master developer Nakheel has awarded a contract worth AED35mn for the construction of a sports, health, and leisure hub at Dubai’s Jumeirah Park community.

Featuring an Olympic-size swimming pool, one of Dubai’s biggest gyms, a clubhouse, spa and medical centre, the new destination will combine first-class sports facilities with a range of restaurants, cafes, shops, and services to create a health and wellbeing-focussed attraction at the high-end community. There will also be parking for
nearly 100 vehicles.

Dubai-based GBH International Contracting has been appointed to build the centre, which has a built-up area of 8,639sqm. Construction will begin in October.

The centre will have a range of children’s facilities, including a nursery and kids’ pool. Retail amenities will include a supermarket, medical clinic, beauty outlets, and everyday convenience stores across 4,273sqm of leasable space.

The clubhouse – home of the pool, restaurant, gym, and spa elements of the complex – is set to become the largest of Nakheel growing collection of community clubs across Dubai, complementing existing and upcoming clubs at Jumeirah Islands, Jebel Ali Village, Al Furjan, Warsan Village and Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC).

Jumeirah Park, one of Nakheel’s most popular communities, currently has nearly 21,000 residents. Spanning more than 380ha, the development is home to 3,000 villas, parks and communal green spaces, a school, and Jumeirah Park Pavilion, Nakheel’s first neighbourhood retail centre, which opened in 2014.
