Hill International (NYSE:HIL), the global leader in managing
construction risk, announced today that it has received a contract
from the Sheikh Suroor Projects Department on behalf of H.H. Sheikh
Suroor Bin Mohammed Al Nahyan to provide project management
services during construction of a new Saadiyat Island resort
development in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The initial
one-year contract has an estimated value to Hill of approximately
AED 7.0 million ($1.9 million).
Saadiyat Island is located just off the coast of
Abu Dhabi and is currently undergoing major development, with an
approximate completion date of 2020. It will feature various
commercial, residential and leisure projects and is expected to
become Abu Dhabi’s cultural center. The island’s cultural
district will eventually include eight museums designed by renowned
architects such as Jean Nouvel, Tadao Ando, Frank Gehry and Zaha
Hadid. The new Saadiyat Island resort development to be
managed by Hill will feature 293 rooms with a built-up area of
approximately 113,000 square meters (1.2 million square feet).
“Saadiyat Island will be an incredible
destination for visitors to the region,” said Mohammed Al Rais,
Regional President (Middle East) for Hill’s Project Management
Group. “This new resort development for H.H. Sheikh Suroor
will become one of the premier hospitality destinations on the
island. We are very honored to be part of this exciting
project,” added Al Rais.
