Abu Dhabi-based developer Aldar Properties has awarded Fibrex the main contractor package to deliver its Shams Meera residential development in Shams Abu Dhabi on Reem Island.


The AED258M ($70M) project will be located a short walking distance from the planned Shams Park, the Shams Marina and the East Shams public beach amenities.

The scope of the contract will include the construction of two 25-storey towers.

The towers, featuring 400 apartments, will share an underground basement car park, swimming pools, a children's play area and a garden.

The development will also include canal walks, parks, a public beach, community mosques, schools and hospitals, healthcare facilities, and retail outlets.

Aldar Properties’ CEO HE Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak said: "From day one the response to Shams Meera has been really encouraging, showing us that there is significant demand for high quality mid-market homes in Abu Dhabi's prime destinations.

"Shams Meera, located adjacent to Abu Dhabi's thriving CBD will offer an enriched community living experience, and we look forward to the development's completion and the positive impact it will have on Shams Abu Dhabi and surrounding area."
