The Dubai developer Nakheel has awarded a Dh120 million contract for infrastructure works at its Al Furjan community in the emirate.
The project is well underway, with 800 homes in Phase 1 already delivered and another 400 being built.
The contract has been given to Dubai-based Target & Jima Construction Contract and will involve the building of 16 kilometres of roads in preparation for 500 third party villa plots, said Nakheel in a statement.
Nakheel is also building a 10,000 metre retail and recreation hub at Al Furjan, with supermarkets, cafes, a swimming pool and other amenities.
Al Furjan is located between Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road.

Q&A with Dash Berlin
Welcome back. What was it like to return to RAK and to play for fans out here again?
It’s an amazing feeling to be back in the passionate UAE again. Seeing the fans having a great time that is what it’s all about.
You're currently touring the globe as part of your Legends of the Feels Tour. How important is it to you to include the Middle East in the schedule?
The tour is doing really well and is extensive and intensive at the same time travelling all over the globe. My Middle Eastern fans are very dear to me, it’s good to be back.
You mix tracks that people know and love, but you also have a visually impressive set too (graphics etc). Is that the secret recipe to Dash Berlin's live gigs?
People enjoying the combination of the music and visuals are the key factor in the success of the Legends Of The Feel tour 2018.
Have you had some time to explore Ras al Khaimah too? If so, what have you been up to?
Coming fresh out of Las Vegas where I continue my 7th annual year DJ residency at Marquee, I decided it was a perfect moment to catch some sun rays and enjoy the warm hospitality of Bab Al Bahr.
