Arada has awarded the main construction contract for W Residences at Dubai Harbour to UAE-based Engineering Contracting Co. (LLC). All three towers of the luxury waterfront development will be delivered under the $422 million (AED 1.55 billion) agreement.
Enabling works at the mixed-use project, including excavation and piling, are already underway following the award of a $13.88 million (AED 51 million) contract to APCC Piling & Marine Contracting.
The main construction package by Arada covers the development of 490 luxury branded residences across three towers, complemented by premium amenities set within a landscaped podium. Valued at $1.36 billion (AED 5 billion), W Residences at Dubai Harbour will offer a diverse selection of apartments and duplexes, including exclusive rooftop penthouses with private pools.
Operated by Marriott International, the 40-storey LEED Silver-certified development will feature what is set to be the longest infinity pool in Dubai, a 40,000-square-foot Wellfit fitness centre, a residents’ lounge, music recording studio, sports simulator, games room, private cinema, guest suites, fine dining venues and co-working spaces.
Residences will incorporate smart home technology, refined layouts, branded kitchens and sanitaryware, premium finishes, and expansive living areas with floor-to-ceiling windows designed to maximise waterfront views.
Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada, said that the award marks a key milestone in delivering one of the UAE’s most anticipated waterfront destinations, combining striking architectural design with panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf and Dubai’s skyline.
Located within Dubai’s newest maritime district, the Arada’s development overlooks Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina and Bluewaters Island, along with the open sea. Developed by Shamal Holding, Dubai Harbour’s master plan includes upscale dining, retail and hospitality offerings, in addition to a cruise terminal and world-class yachting facilities.
