UAE-based Mubadala Development Company has invited expressions of interest (EOIs) from leading construction companies for key landscaping works as part of the Al Maryah Island promenade extension project in Abu Dhabi, said a press statement from the company.

The scope of work includes hard and soft landscaping such as paving, irrigation, planting, way-finding and utility provisions for a 2km promenade extension to the existing Al Maryah public realm, the statement added.

Mubadala is seeking to engage with contractors with a proven track record in ‘design and build’ construction of strategic landscaping projects worth over $27.2 million.

Once the extension is complete, the promenade will encircle the entire southern half of the island, adding a further 2.06km of walkway, said the statement.

Al Maryah Island, an integrated mixed-use development spread over a 114-hectare area, is home to the world’s newest international financial centre, luxury retail and dining offerings, premium hospitality and world-class healthcare and multi-tiered transport infrastructure.
