Rawda residences in Town Square 43% complete

ECC will complete the Rawda residences project, currently 3.2 per cent ahead of schedule, timely and within budget.

Engineering Contracting Company (ECC) has achieved significant progress in the construction of Rawda and UNA, two residential communities launched by Nshama in Town Square Dubai.

ECC commenced work on Rawda residences in February 2018 and is currently 43 per cent complete, heading towards an early completion in 2020.

ECC will complete the Rawda project, currently 3.2 per cent ahead of schedule, timely and within budget due to the implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology. BIM helps to plan, design, build, construct and manage building and infrastructure virtually.

The involvement of ECC Group's associated companies - Abanos and PMI - enabled greater collaboration throughout the project.

Rawda apartments are situated in a park-side location, consisting of 4 residential buildings. The tallest building in Town Square Dubai, Rawda offers direct access to the Town Square Park that spans over 50,000 square metres and features several retail outlets and cafes.

UNA is set apart by a digitised all-purpose lobby lounge where residents can indulge in creative, recreational and collaborative pursuits. The lobby lounge serves as a social hub featuring work stations, a music room, games corner, communal TV, reading space, workstations and creative zones.

Kamal Farah, director of ECC Group, said: "Town Square Dubai creates a trendy, integrated neighbourhood with good access to many of Dubai's landmarks. Our collaboration with Nshama will yield something special for the market. The Rawda and UNA projects are prime examples of this as we have managed to surpass our anticipated work schedule by 3.2 per cent, reaching 43 per cent completion in 9 months."

Rawda (construction cost of Dh473 million) and UNA block 1 (construction cost of Dh176 million) consist of 5 towers offering 1,193 residential units featuring an assortment of studio, one, two and three-bedroom units.

Fred Durie, CEO of Nshama, said: "Rawda and UNA are new residential launches in Town Square Dubai that have gained positive market response. We are committed to delivering these residences as per schedule and work with leading contracting companies to achieve our goal."
