Nakheel evaluating construction bids for The Pointe at Palm Jumeirah
Nakheel has received construction bids for The Pointe, its 136,000 square metre retail and entertainment complex on Palm Jumeirah. Nakheel has started the evaluation process with the contract due to be awarded within the first quarter of 2014. Earlier this year Nakheel awarded a contract for ground improvement work at the site of The Pointe. The ground preparation work is now complete and included vibro-compaction, topographic survey and factual site investigation work.The Pointe at Palm Jumeirah - endorsed by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai - will be located at the tip of The Palm, opposite Atlantis.
Leasing will commence next month with the project featuring over 200 retail opportunities with a diverse range of shopping, dining and entertainment facilities, including a spectacular fountain display.
In addition to convenient road access and ample parking, The Pointe will also be accessible via the Palm monorail system which will soon be connected to the mainland tram system, while water taxis will shuttle visitors across the bay from nearby hotels directly to the mall’s marina.
The Pointe is one of several new Nakheel developments underway at Palm Jumeirah. Others include Nakheel Mall, The Boardwalk and Palm West Beach.
