One of Dubai’s oldest communities, Deira enjoys an excellent position fronting the famous Dubai Creek, an area rich in tradition and culture.
Phase 1 of the mixed-use Deira Waterfront Development will regenerate one of the oldest communities in Dubai and will be integral to the city’s future economic success. The development is located close to Dubai’s central destinations and will add much-desired components into the community such as leisure facilities, parks and plazas as well as retail and leisure facilities to support a varied, busy and growing community.
Our Omnium team is delighted not only to support our clients with new ‘landmark’ developments, but equally in bringing their numerous and wide-ranging regeneration projects to life. The areas on which these projects focus on are the heart and soul of Dubai and are integral to the city’s future growth. The Deira Waterfront Development will not only provide quality residences and a high-standard urban lifestyle, but the development will incorporate leisure facilities, parks and plazas to support the growing community. Omnium is proud to support our client Ithra in its work to enhance the cultural importance of the Deira area.
Omnium’s large Dubai office team, led by Branch Director Fernando Freitas, was appointed by our client Ithra to provide Quantity Surveying and Cost Consultancy services to approximately 80% of Phase One of its mixed-use Deira Waterfront Development. Our team is delighted to be involved in this key development, which forms the cornerstone of crucial regeneration to Deira and which will create attractive, urban living spaces on the Creek waterfront. With important focus on efficient commercial management, Omnium’s cost consultancy experience on residential projects such as this will professionally support our client throughout the delivery of this scheme.
