ETA Star, a leading freehold property developer in the UAE, has awarded a Dh19.7 million ($5.36 million) contract to Dutch Foundation and Concrete Processing Company to carry out enabling work on The Summit, a 38-storey commercial and office tower located between Dubai Media City and Dubai Marina on Sheikh Zayed Road.

Under the contract, Dutch Foundation will handle all aspects related to the enabling package of the Dh700 million project, which will include design, approval, supply, installation, guarantee and maintenance. The enabling work will cover mobilisation, shoring, earthwork, excavation, dewatering, piling work and testing, among others.
Abid A Junaid, executive director, ETA Star, said: “We have worked with Dutch Foundation in other projects and we are very satisfied with the results. ETA Star is again looking forward to another fruitful collaboration in another very ambitious venture, The Summit, which is a first-of-its-kind condo office concept. This is a very crucial stage in the project as the enabling work will layout the foundation of The Summit.”
Dutch Foundation will complete the enabling works in 175 days. It will also oversee the dewatering, which will be carried out by a sub-contractor for a contract valued at Dh500,000.
