Aldar Properties has made steady progress across all its projects, with Ansam on Yas Island and Al Hadeel at Al Raha Beach moving closer towards completion and handover this year.

Giving an update, Aldar said the façade glazing of Al Hadeel is entering its final stages with internal fixtures and fit-out progressing accordingly. The project, featuring 233 units, sits on the seafront of Al Raha Beach.

Ansam, an Andalusian-style apartment development on the western side of Yas Island, is also close to completing its façade glazing, with mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) installations progressing well.

The community offers premier living and leisure facilities and its first phase consists of 547 units overlooking the Yas Links golf course and the Yas Island waterfront.

Elsewhere on Yas Island, at West Yas, two of the mock-up villas are now complete, and will be opened to the public shortly, with all villas at various stages of completion.

Aldar said early works were ongoing at Mayan, its luxury golf and waterfront apartment development, with the main contract package expected to be awarded by the second quarter of this year.

At Yas Acres, enabling works have commenced in order to ready the site for the award of the main contract by the end of June 2017, it added.

At Shams Abu Dhabi on Al Reem Island, the Shams Closed Canal is now nearing completion along with the public realm streetscape. Also on Al Reem Island, at Shams Meera, Aldar’s first mid-market project, the focus is currently on steel reinforcements and foundation work, as well as columns and walls for the basement levels.

Meanwhile at Al Merief, situated in Khalifa City, an engineering team has been fully deployed for all of the infrastructure construction, with mobilisation work now complete, said the top developer.

And on Nareel Island, the main contractor has been appointed and site mobilisation, earthworks and culverts have been completed.
