Mered, an award-winning international real estate developer, has appointed NSCC International as the enabling works contractor for Riviera Residences, its landmark waterfront development designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi.

Envisioned as a lush sanctuary within the city, Riviera Residences is set to redefine waterfront living in Abu Dhabi with more than 400 elegantly designed apartments and 12 exclusive villas, including sky villas, ocean villas, and a penthouse, said Mered.

The project blends contemporary architecture with Abu Dhabi’s rich pearl-diving heritage, expressed through luminous mother-of-pearl façades that capture natural light. The interiors, amenities, and lobby emphasize timeless elegance, seamless functionality, and meticulous detail.

The appointment marks another significant milestone in the construction of one of the capital’s most anticipated residential projects, said the statement.

Founded in Abu Dhabi in 1968, NSCC has grown from a marine contractor into a multi-disciplined regional leader in ground engineering.
