Developer Majid Al Futtaim has awarded the primary construction contract for Distrikt Ghaf Woods to Al Sahel Contracting, a subsidiary of the Al Nabooda Group. Valued at over US $191mn, this contract marks a significant milestone in the project’s progress.
Distrikt Ghaf Woods, Majid Al Futtaim’s latest residential community in Dubai, is designed with the principles of nature-integrated living, well-being, and long-term value creation in mind. Inspired by the resilience of the Ghaf tree, the development offers a unique lifestyle characterised by its design, expansive green spaces, and connectivity to essential urban amenities.
Construction of the project began last month, with ongoing work currently taking place at the Distrikt Ghaf Woods site. This award expedites project delivery and demonstrates Majid Al Futtaim Development’s confidence in Dubai’s resilient long-term real estate fundamentals, said a statement.
Majid Al Futtaim Development, CEO Ahmed El Shamy said, “The award of the main construction contract for Distrikt Ghaf Woods represents an important step in advancing this community and reaffirms our commitment to delivering on our development plans. It underscores the trust our customers place in us and reflects the resilience and determination that define the UAE. We remain focused on delivering a project that meets the highest standards of quality and design, in line with the nation’s aspirations.”
Al Sahel Contracting General Manager Moustafa Ali Moustafa Hasan remarked, “Distrikt Ghaf Woods is a project that speaks to the scale and ambition we look for as a contractor. We bring the full depth of Al Nabooda Group’s expertise and resources to this partnership, and we are determined to deliver a community that sets a new standard for residential construction in the UAE.”
The decision to appoint Al Sahel Contracting was made after a rigorous competitive tender process, where the selection criteria included robust technical expertise, exceptional delivery excellence, and alignment with Majid Al Futtaim’s stringent quality standards.
