Al Shafar General Contracting (ASGC) has completed structural work of the Marina Bloom project at Abu Dhabi Marina, which is being carried out for Bloom Properties.

The project in the Al Bateen area of the city features a five-star hotel, 57 executive serviced apartments and waterfront retail areas. Work started in April last year and the fully fitted-out complex is expected to be delivered by the third quarter of next year.

Bishoy Azmy, chief executive, of ASGC, said: “This development, which is mixed-use and includes a premium five-star hotel, once again demonstrates ASGC’s expertise in the delivery of quality and high-end hospitality and residential construction projects.”

Recent projects to be delivered by ASGC include the Waldorf Astoria Hotel on Dubai Palm Jumeirah for Al Habtoor Group, and Bay Square at Business Bay in Abu Dhabi.

The company is also currently on site at Meraas Holding’s City Walk project in the Jumeirah area of Dubai and at The Onyx project facing Sheikh Zayed Road near Emaar Business Park for Ishraqah.
