Emirates Gardens development on schedule

Dubai-based Damac Properties has announced the completion of the main structure of its Emirates Gardens development.

Emirates Garden (phase one) is the company's first project in Jumeirah Village and comprises three separate buildings each of four storeys. The contracting company Intermass has completed the structure as well as the MEP and finishes for each of the complexes.

Work has already commenced on plastering, tiling and wiring. In addition, work to install elevators has also begun.

Peter Riddoch, CEO of Damac Properties, said: "This will be our first project to be completed in Jumeirah Village so to see the completion of the structures in the first phase is a significant milestone for us. We are also making good progress on the second phase of Emirates Gardens with our other three buildings all at, or past, the third floor. We are working closely with our contractors on site to ensure that this positive progress continues on site."

The three buildings in the first phase (named Gardenia, Lavender and Rose) are due for completion in third quarter of 2009 with the second phase due to follow shortly afterwards. The developer has a number of projects under construction at Jumeirah Village including the recently launched Green Park development and Tuscan Residence.
