The mall will form the centrepiece of the revamped Arzanah development unveiled by Mubadala Real Estate at Cityscape Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. It will comprise more than 1.9 million sq m of built-up space around the existing football and tennis stadiums that will eventually be home to more than 30,000 people. Ali Eid AlMheiri, the executive director of Mubadala Real Estate, said the master plan unveiled was a "concept of how we believe the site could be developed in the future", but is based around promoting an active lifestyle for families. Residential buildings, for instance, could feature rooftop tennis courts and pools and there will be football pitches spread across the site. Mubadala Real Estate will be the site’s master developer and will service the plots, which it then plans to offer to third-party developers. The new mall will be the first element to be brought forward. "Once the concept is approved by all of the authorities then we will be marketing the plot to well-known mall operators/investors – the usual players in the UAE. We’ll get into discussions with them, see who’s interested in buying it and on the best commercial terms," said Mr AlMheiri. "We’re probably looking at some time towards the year- end. After that, once you reach the commercial agreement with them, then the clock ticks." He said potential investors and developers would largely decide on what went in the new mall (where a connected hotel is also proposed), but added that it is expecting the mall operator will incorporate an ice rink and bowling alley to replace existing facilities on site that will make way for the Arzanah project. The bulk of the remaining site will be made up of residential plots, although there is space for a couple of office buildings. However, Mr AlMheiri said Mubadala was conscious of current market conditions and would not "flood the market" with new plots. "We will be servicing the plots and selling to third parties to do those developments. And the third party will not come to do the plot unless the market is there to develop. So we are both aligned." He argued that there would be more interest in the mall, however, despite several major new mall projects now under way in Abu Dhabi, because most of these are on the eastern side of the island, while this is on the west. Arzanah was initially launched as a joint venture between Mubadala and Singapore-based Capitala in 2008 as a 1.4 million sq feet scheme containing a five-tower development with 854 apartments known as Rihan Heights on one corner. Mubadala ended up buying several of the buildings itself.

At Cityscape yesterday the company, which is 60 per cent owned by Aldar, said it planned to increase the number of lifeguards it employs from 210 at the moment to more than 500 by the end of the year as the company looks to maximise alternative revenues during the property downturn. "Khidmah is a very opportunistic company. We started off identifying a need to employ lifeguards in our own communities in Abu Dhabi. In just a few years that small segment became a business unit with its own P&L and now it makes up one of the branches of our business," said Abdulla Al Qamzi, the Khidmah managing director. "We’ve expanded from Abu Dhabi communities to winning a tender to supply lifeguards for the Dubai public beaches last year. We’re currently in the process of expanding the business to all the public beaches of the emirate of Sharjah and by the end of the year we hope to start supplying lifeguards in Saudi Arabia too." Khidmah, which started operating in Saudi Arabia two years ago where it currently only provides technical support services such as snagging and heavy-duty maintenance, is currently negotiating a deal to supply 110 lifeguards to work in pools and healthclubs for one major Saudi landlord. Snagging is an expression widely used in the construction industry to define the process of inspection necessary to compile a list of minor defects or omissions in building works for the contractor to rectify. Khidmah was established as an in house management company in April 2009 as a joint venture between Sorouh (an Abu Dhabi developer that later merged with Aldar) and Dubai-based Capital Investment.

  • Investigation Future Planning of Railway Networks in the Arabs Gulf Countries
    M. E. M. Najar & A. Khalfan Al Rahbi, Int. J. Transp. Dev. Integr., Vol. 1, No. 4 (2017) 654–665 INVESTIGATION FUTURE PLANNING OF RAILWAY NETWORKS IN THE ARABS GULF COUNTRIES MOHAMMAD EMAD MOTIEYAN NAJAR & ALIA KHALFAN AL RAHBI Department of Civil Engineering, Middle East College, Muscat, Oman ABSTRACT Trans-border railroad in the Arabian Peninsula dates back to the early 20th century in Saudi Arabia. Over the recent decades due to increasing population and developing industrial zones, the demands are growing up over time. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is now embarking on one of the largest modern cross-border rail networks in the world. This is an ambitious step regarding the planning and establishment of the rail network connecting all the six GCC countries. This railway network will go through at least one city in each country to link the cities of Kuwait in Kuwait, Dammam in Saudi Arabia, Manama in Bahrain, Doha in Qatar, the cities of Abu Dhabi and Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates and Sohar and then Muscat in Oman in terms of cargo and passengers. The area of investigation covers different aspects of the shared Arabian countries rail routes called ‘GCC line’ and their national rail network. The aim of this article is to study the existing future plans and policies of the GCC countries shared line and domestic railway network. This article studies the national urban (light rail transportation (LRT), metro (subways) and intercity rail transportation to appraise the potential of passenger movement and commodity transportation at present and in the future.

  • Urban Development in the Arabian Peninsula
    6 The Journal of the International Institute Fall 2008 United Kingdom, Belgium, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, Aus- Urban Development tralia, France, and the Indian Subcontinent. One of these is Michigan State University, which recently established a branch campus in DIAC and enrolled its inaugural class in the Arabian Peninsula this fall. The UAE is not alone in its international education pursuits. Neighboring Qatar is also taking strides to improve the quality of life for its citizens, including the expansion of opportunities for women and a significant investment in education and research. In Doha, Qatar’s capital, a 2,500-acre campus houses the largest number of American university branch campuses in the Middle East, or perhaps anywhere outside the United States. Known as Education City, the campus was developed under the leadership of the Qatar Foundation, an orga- nization dedicated to working collaboratively with some of the world’s finest academic and research institutions in order to move the country toward a knowledge-based economy. At present, Cornell University, Carnegie Mellon University, Georgetown University, Texas A&M Universi- ty, Northwestern University, and Virginia Commonwealth University all offer specialized degree-granting programs in Education City. Qatari and other international institu- tions dedicated to training and research are located in Education City as well.

  • 220,000 €400 Million 4,500
    Building for Art’s Sake World-class museums no longer stake their reputations on art and artifacts alone; the museum building itself must be viewed as an architectural treasure. Along with surging visitor numbers and swelling collections, this trend is driving a spate of major museum projects in New York, New York, USA; London, England; and theEd ge Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Te projects expand, The Louvre Abu Dhabi, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, is move or build new branches of some of the world’s leading muse- slated for a December 2015 opening. ums—and face challenges ranging from unusual building sites to allegations of labor abuses. Te €400 million Louvre Abu Dhabi designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, slated for a December 2015 opening, and the US$800 million Guggenheim Abu Dhabi designed by U.S. architect Frank Gehry, scheduled to open in 2017, are prime examples. Branches of the original Guggenheim and Louvre museums in New York and Paris, France, respectively, the proj- ects are central components of the UAE government’s planned “cultural district” on Saadiyat Island. Because the two museums will be surrounded by water on three sides, engineering hurdles are substantial. Te largest challenge facing Saadiyat’s three museum proj- ects—the Zayed National Museum is scheduled to open in 2016, with assistance from the British Museum in London—is putting to rest international concern about widespread abuses of migrant workers, including poor living conditions, unpaid wages and forced labor. “I therefore call on the UAE government, but also on all companies involved in the Saadiyat project—including [the] Louvre, British Museum and Guggenheim—to ensure that any form of mistreatment is addressed and that all migrants can fully enjoy their human rights,” Barbara Lochbihler, chair of the European Parliament’s subcom- mittee on human rights, said in December 2013.
