The anniversary coincides with the UAE’s decision to extend the ‘Year of Sustainability’
The Dh120 million contract marks the official launch of Makers District, an 18-hectare masterplan development on Reem Island, Abu Dhabi.
Ramboll will provide lead consultancy services on the first phase of Makers District, working alongside international architects, BIG and MVRDV. With over 1,000 residential units, 11,000 square metres of commercial and retail space, the scheme is scheduled for completion in 2020. The first units will go on sale by the end of 2017.
Design of the 'The Artery', the first building to be launched in Makers District, was awarded to BIG, an architectural design firm based out of Copenhagen and New York, in April 2017.
Walid El Hindi, CEO of Imkan, said: "Makers District is the first development of its kind in the region. We conducted extensive research on the needs and aspirations of young, highly networked and creative workers who currently have a limited choice in where they live and work."
Makers District is the inaugural development for Imkan, which has multi-billion dirham development portfolio spanning four continents.
