The operation of the market is set to start in the final quarter of 2020.
A Dh36-million community market spanning more than 23,000 square metres is one of the latest projects set for Abu Dhabi's new residential cities.
The Abu Dhabi City Municipality on Monday signed two contracts with Tristar Construction and Real Estate Company, including one for building a community market in Mohamed Bin Zayed city (MBZ) and the second agreement is for building a service station for residential districts in Al Shawamekh city spanning 5,585sqm.
Construction of the community market, which comprises a hypermarket, restaurants, coffee shops, a health club, quality retail outlets, kids day-care and play grounds and a government service support centre, will be completed within a period of two years from now.
The market in MBZ Zone 23, will occupy a floor area of 13,989sqm. It will be the first of its kind in MBZ City and is intended to serve thousands of Emirati families and expats. The operation of the market is set to start in the final quarter of 2020.
Saif Badr Al Qubaisi, general manager of the Abu Dhabi City Municipality, said after signing the agreement that these two projects are part of a full package of integrated projects and service facilities the municipality is intending to undertake in implementation of the vision of Abu Dhabi government for bolstering the cooperation with the private sector.
"We want to bring modern services close to the people. Upon completion, the market will offer high-class shopping services and contribute to improving the quality of living in the area," said Al Qubaisi.
"The project would constitute a solid and stable ground, heralding more facilities capable of bringing happiness and ensuring well-being for the whole populace. The projects will also step up the development drive and add to the new projects needed for delivering modern services to the community at world-class standards."
Naji Hasan Al Harithi, CEO of Tristar Construction and Real Estate Company, said: "The key objectives of constructing such a modern community market in the residential area are to raise the standard of living and provide best-in-class services to residents.
"The market will provide service facilities, proper and quality retail outlets, and community centres that measure up to the expectations of residents."
Service station for all
The Dh15.3-million service station to be constructed in Sector SHM9 of Al Shawamekh city is part of the service stations at residential areas that cover the mainland, according to the municipality.
The project will be developed and operated by Tristar and offers a diverse cast of maintenance services that cover carpentry, repair services for household appliances, plumbing, electricity and air conditioning services, tyre and auto parts trading, car repair and washing services, and many other services.
The contract for the construction of the service station is based on the principle of Musataha for 30 years, after three years of construction. The station is expected to start operation in the third quarter of 2021.
Tristar Real Estate Company was earlier awarded the contract for setting up three service stations in the residential communities of Al Wathba, Al Rahba and Al Shahama at Dh15.5 million each.
The municipality said it will continue its partnership with the private sector for construction of investment, recreational and service projects that bring happiness to people, such as Al Maqta Canal, highway rest areas, and service stations among other services improving the quality of life.
