Nakheel, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate, has awarded Al Nasr Contracting Company an Dhs169m contract to deliver internal roadworks and essential utilities for Bay Villas at Dubai Islands.
The scope of work includes developing access roads throughout the 636-unit residential community and installing key utility services, ensuring seamless connectivity between homes, public areas, and the broader island systems. This milestone aligns with Nakheel’s strategy of sequencing preparatory works alongside infrastructure delivery to support efficient community build-out and consistent outcomes for residents.
Khalid Al Malik, chief executive officer, Dubai Holding Real Estate, said: “Awarding this infrastructure contract to Al Nasr represents a critical foundation phase for Bay Villas, ensuring our 636-unit waterfront community is built on robust infrastructure from day one. Al Nasr’s proven expertise in complex civil works and strong safety record align with our commitment to delivering exceptional residential communities. This infrastructure investment directly supports Dubai Islands’ development as a premier waterfront destination, creating the essential connectivity that will enhance residents’ daily lives and long-term property values.”
Jean Nicolas El Helou, chief executive officer, Al Nasr Contracting Company, added: “We are pleased to partner with Nakheel, an established leader in Dubai’s real estate landscape, on essential infrastructure works for Bay Villas at Dubai Islands. Our team will work closely with all stakeholders to ensure this new villa community meets the highest of standards set by Nakheel to support Bay Villas’ development as one of the newest and exciting communities for people looking to live and invest in Dubai.”
This latest appointment follows Nakheel’s earlier Dhs2.6bn contract awarded to Fibrex Contracting for the wider development of Dubai Islands. Together, these contracts mark significant progress toward the delivery of Bay Villas, which will feature townhouses, semi-detached villas, garden villas, and premium waterfront and beachfront residences in a connected, resort-style setting.
Bay Villas forms part of the broader Dubai Islands vision and supports the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, with an emphasis on well-planned communities, public spaces, and easy access to amenities.
