Abyaar Real Estate has named Dubai’s Modern Executive Systems Contracting (MESC) as the main works contractor for its Dubai Marina towers Pier 24 and Pier 8.

The contract, worth $80 million, was awarded to MESC because of its expertise in delivering multi-service construction works across the region.
Work on the first tower – the exclusive Radisson SAS-operated Pier 24 which is due to be completed this summer – is well ahead of schedule with the 20 storey, 90 m tower already reaching floor 15.
The company is working in partnership with world-class design and management services company KEO International Consultants, which is behind projects such as The Pearl–Qatar and the capital’s Emirates Palace Hotel.
Superior craftsmanship, quality materials and innovative design solutions symbolise the work of lighting specialist FontanaArte, door specialist Lualdi Porte, and furniture specialist Poliform and FEG to ensure that the towers will be amongst the most sought-out addresses in Dubai.
Abyaar has also tasked Zebian Aluminium, one of the region’s leading fabricators, to supply all glazing and aluminium products for Pier 24.
Sharjah-based Zebian’s previous projects include Al Noor Tower, the emirate’s tallest building at 42 storeys and Dubai’s five-star Movenpick Hotel.
Consultancy design for the 40-storey, Pier 8 – which is due to be completed by the end of 2008 – is being undertaken by WS Atkins.
