Dar Global, a London-listed luxury real estate developer, has announced that it has awarded the shoring, excavation, and piling works contract to leading engineering and construction firm Stromek Emirates Foundations for its prestigious 'The Astera, Interiors by Aston Martin' project.

Set on Al Marjan Island in the northern emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, this is the luxury British sports car brand's first venture into interior design for a real estate development in the Middle East.

With a gross development value of AED900 million ($245 million), 'The Astera' will feature a mix of luxury apartments and villas, blending Aston Martin’s signature design aesthetics with Dar Global’s commitment to offering exceptional living experiences, said a statement.

Dar Global said the shoring, excavation, and piling works are expected to commence immediately, laying the foundation for what will soon be a landmark development on the Arabian Sea.

Stromek’s appointment is a key milestone in the progress of 'The Astera,' a development that will combine iconic British design with cutting-edge engineering and craftsmanship.

Stromek’s scope of work will focus on ensuring the stability and sustainability of the development's foundational elements.
