Abu Dhabi wins tussle for Irena HQ
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has won the tug of war with Germany to home the headquarters of the new International
Renewable Energy Agency (Irena), the agency's interim HQ will be established at Masdar City in Abu Dhabi.
Under the deal, the other frontrunner to house the HQ, Bonn in
Germany, will host Irena's centre of technology and innovation,
while Vienna will provide a home for the agency's Liaison
Office, tasked to manage co-operation with other energy and
renewables bodies.
In a statement released at a meeting of the new agency in
Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, Irena attempted to play down talks of
a rift between Germany and the UAE, arguing that the
allocation of the three new offices "reflects the spirit of co-
operation that is needed for Irena to grow into a strong and
effective organization".
However, the decision is not without controversy after France
signaled that it would support the UAE's proposals to locate the
HQ at rent-free offices in its new Masdar low carbon project.
Supporters of the UAE's proposals have said it is better placed to manage the rollout of renewable energy technologies in the
developing world than Germany, and that the new zero-carbon Masdar development represents the perfect home for the
group.
But critics have pointed to France's recent nuclear co-operation deal with the UAE, suggesting that the French government is
quietly lobbying for Irena's remit to be extended to cover "low carbon" power, including nuclear.
Moreover, Germany originally proposed the launch of an international agency dedicated to renewable energy and, privately at
least, German officials will be frustrated that they have missed out on the chance to host its HQ.
The decision comes as Irena also announced its ranks have increased to more than 130 members over the last few days after a
raft of new countries, including the UK, US and Australia, signed up to the group.

Abu Dhabi plans Olympic stadium
Project is to be developed at Mina Zayed in a joint venture with The John Buck Company of the US.
Abu Dhabi is planning to build an 'Olympic' stadium at Mina Zayed on Abu Dhabi island, according to sources involved with
the scheme.
The developer, government-controlled Mubadala Development Company, declined to comment on the project. A spokesman
for Abu Dhabi Sports Council says it is not involved in the scheme.
Stadiums built for recent Olympic Games and for the 2012 London Olympics are capable of seating more than 70,000 people,
with a grass pitch and a 400-metre long running track. It is not yet clear what size stadium Mubadala has commissioned.
Mubadala is developing the stadium through John Buck International, a joint venture with the US' The John Buck Company.
"Mubadala and John Buck are doing an Olympic stadium; it is a big project," says one source.
"Yes, there is a stadium planned," says another source.
"It will be next to the new media city in the Mina Zayed area."
Few other details of the project are available. Mubadala declined to say whether Abu Dhabi will use the stadium to mount an
Olympic bid.
Four cities - Chicago, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo - are shortlisted for the 2016 Olympic games and bidding for the 2020
games will not start until after the London Olympics in 2012. The new stadium could also be used to host the Asian games. The
Chinese city of Guangzhou will host the 2010 Asian Games, which Doha hosted in 2006, and Incheon in South Korea will host
the 2014 games.
Mubadala and John Buck are also working on a 65,000-capacity football stadium in the Khalifa City area close to Abu Dhabi
International airport and the planned Capital City District. Work has already started on the foundations for the football stadium.
Contractors expect Mubadala to issue a tender for the main construction works by the end of this year.
When it is finished, the Olympic stadium will be a landmark in the Mina Zayed area, which will be redeveloped once Abu
Dhabi's major commercial port relocates to Khalifa Port & Industrial Zone in Taweelah. The new stadium will benefit from the
proximity of Abu Dhabi's new media zone, which will be built alongside the stadium.
Abu Dhabi is developing the media cluster, which is known as TwoFour54, to attract leading international broadcasters and
media companies.
TwoFour54 will include office buildings, production and broadcast studios, a hotel, serviced apartments, residential units, retail
space and parking.
Mubadala is developing several other leisure and entertainment projects that will support the sports stadium as part of its Mina
Zayed Waterfront district, an extension to the eastern end of Abu Dhabi's Corniche.

Aecom secures Cleveland Clinic work in Abu Dhabi
US-based Aecom has been appointed by government-controlled investment vehicle Mubadala Development Company
to provide engineering services on the Cleveland Clinic project in Abu Dhabi.
The company will provide building and engineering services for the 360-bed hospital on Al-Sowwah island, which includes
a 220,000-square-metre hospital, a central utility plant and parking for 3,200 cars.
Contractors are currently being prequalified for the contract to
build the hospital. Mubadala has asked contractors to demonstrate
their experience in building large-scale medical facilities and
delivering contracts worth more than Dh3billion (US$817m).
Contractors had understood that Mubadala would negotiate the
Cleveland Clinic deal directly with the joint venture of the local
Arabtec Construction and Greece's Aktor. Mubadala held talks
with the joint venture in the third quarter of 2008 to execute the
entire project on a design-and-build basis. The Arabtec/Aktor joint
venture is already working on the piling and enabling works.
The UK's Driver Consult is the consultant. Local developer Aldar Properties is managing the construction on behalf of
Mubadala.

Sorouh and Tameer dissolve joint ventures
UAE property developers Sorouh Real Estate and Tameer Holding have dissolved their two joint ventures. The two
companies were jointly developing the Tameer Towers and the Gate Towers, both in the Shams Abu Dhabi district of Abu
Dhabi's Reem island.
Sorouh will now develop the Gate Tower and Tameer will develop Tameer Towers.
The local/Lebanese Arabian Construction Company (ACC) is working on the Gate Towers. In May, Tameer signed a fresh
construction agreement with two local contractors, Al-Rajhi Projects & Construction and Al-Habtoor Engineering Enterprises,
for the Tameer Towers project.

Property prices stabilize in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Property prices in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have stabilized and started to rise, although they are still trading at 23 per cent
below their September 2008 peak according to research from HSBC.
Transaction prices in Dubai rose 5 per cent in May following a 4 per cent rise in April due to renewed interest in the
property market and sellers repricing or taking properties off the market.
Other positive factors are liquidity returning to the market and more attractive financing. In Abu Dhabi prices followed a
similar trend and rose 7 per cent in May and 2 per cent in April.
The bank also found that apartments are outperforming villas. In Dubai apartments were up 9 per cent in May while villas
were down 11 per cent. In Abu Dhabi apartments were up 4 per cent and villas were down 8 per cent during May.
Despite the positive developments, there is a risk of further declines in prices later in 2009 as volumes fall during the
summer and new supply is delivered.
"Market data from April and May show a range of positive indicators: agreed property sale prices are rising, volumes are
holding up well and banks have loosened their lending criteria," said David Lepper, head of UAE equity research, HSBC
Global Research.
"However, we will not be able to discern a sustainable trend until later in 2009. And while we note these positive
developments, the market as a whole is coming off a very low base given the sharp declines since the market peak. Credit
growth remains subdued and the UAE economy still has challenges to deal with."

Ali Bin Sulayem named as new CEO of Hydra Properties
Sulaiman al Fahim, the property tycoon seeking to buy Britain’s Portsmouth Football Club, has been replaced as chief
executive of Hydra Properties, a company official said.
Mr. al Fahim will become a member of the company’s board of directors, said Ahmed Khalil, Hydra’s commercial director.
Ali bin Sulayem of Hydra’s parent company, Royal Group, will replace him as chief executive.
“Dr. Fahim did an amazing job of getting Hydra Properties to where it is in a few years,” he said. “Dr. [al Fahim] has been
promoted for all the good work he has done.”
Hydra Properties has been under increasing pressure following the slowdown in the property sector. It has faced an
increasing number of disputes with investors in Hydra Village, a residential development near Abu Dhabi International
Airport, which is two years behind schedule. The company also has sold property in several towers to be built on Reem
Island.
Mr al Fahim signed an agreement to buy Portsmouth, a Premier League club, last month and wants to complete the deal as
soon as possible. The charismatic millionaire also appeared in his own reality television show called Hydra Executives.

Khor Fakkan expansion completed on schedule
NAVAYUGA Engineering Company (NEC), an Abu Dhabi-based infrastructure development and construction company,
has completed the Khor Fakkan Port expansion project for Berth 6, subcontracted from Athena, as per schedule.
The complex work involved the installation of a bored pile foundation with piles extending to depths of up to 25 m in deep
sea. The successful on-schedule completion of the project marks NEC’s competencies in undertaking marine projects that
involve deep-sea backfilling work.
With a successful track-record of on-schedule delivery of mega infrastructure projects in the UAE, Navayuga is on the road
to attain its growth targets set for the year, said general manager Antony David. “When we commenced operations in the
UAE last year, our goal was to highlight our strengths in complex infrastructure projects. The Khor Fakkan project is
testament to our capabilities, and we will leverage this experience for future expansion.”
David said that NEC will continue to focus on the emerging markets in the Middle East. “Infrastructure development
continues to be a priority for the region, and we will partner in the public and private sector initiatives to contribute to
supporting regional projects with world-class technology and manpower support.”
For the Khor Fakkan project, NEC laid 159 900-mm-diameter bored in-site piles. The pile-testing procedures, including
static load test, dynamic test and non-destructive integrity testing, were carried out in accordance with the specifications for
piling by the Institution of Civil Engineers, UK.
Two heavy-duty piling rigs, two cranes of 50 and 80 tonnes, and two vibro hammers were employed on site. Twenty
technical staff supervised and executed the scope of the contract.

Zaya to finish Nurai in December 2010
UAE-based real estate developer Zaya plans to deliver its Dh3-billion island project Nurai, comprising 31 high-end
beachfront estates and 36 water villas on schedule in December 2010, its chief executive officer said.
"At the moment we are a bit ahead of schedule," Nadia Zaal, CEO of Zaya, told reporters. "There are 200 workers on site
and their numbers are going to double over the next few months."
The properties already sold by Zaya on Nurai are priced between Dh55 million and Dh65 million
"We have sold 40 out of the 67 units. The top-most unit at Nurai will be sold for roughly Dh100 million, though it won't
probably be sold before the end of the project," said Zaal.
The property owners at Nurai have the option to rent out the units, said Zaal, adding that service charges per unit are
currently Dh180,000 a year.
As well, there will be a hotel project on Nurai comprising 45 villas, work on which will begin in September, said Zaal. The
entire Nurai project will be managed by Zaya Retreats. Nurai, located four kilometres from Saadiyat Island off Abu Dhabi,
can either be reached by boat or helicopter.
The Nurai project in terms of development area is 300 million square feet and the project is being financed by a consortium
of banks. Nurai, when complete, will have the latest recreational facilities including spas, tennis courts and movie theatre.
Nurai is a luxury property that will be known for its privacy and exclusivity, adding that the company is relatively less
affected by the global financial crunch than some of the other developers due to its having a niche clientele.
"I think, we are better positioned and relatively, much less affected."
Zaal said Zaya is in negotiations for acquiring land banks in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Qatar, Oman and India for future
developmental projects.

Abu Dhabi starts work at football stadiums
Construction has begun on new playing surfaces at Abu Dhabi’s two biggest stadiums - Zayed Sports City Stadium and
Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium - which will play host to the FIFA Club World Cup UAE 2009 in December.
Once completed, the new pitches at the two stadiums will stage all eight matches of the competition, and provide the UAE
national side and club teams with permanent world-class playing facilities.
In addition to the two stadiums, seven other pitches across Abu
Dhabi are being reconstructed or renovated to accommodate the
competing clubs as exclusive training sites.
Reflecting on the long-term benefits the pitch development will
bring, Mohammed Khalfan Al-Rumaithi, president of the UAE
FA, said these pitches were an important part of the legacy the
FIFA Club World Cup would leave behind for the Emirates.
"Not only will the standard of playing facilities available for
UAE professional clubs be raised, but academies, like the one
run by Al-Wahda, will have the opportunity to train and develop
young players on world-class surfaces for many years to come,"
he noted.
Using the most advanced technology available, the playing surfaces are being constructed to world-class standards, with the
overall goal to deliver top quality grass colour, consistent ball bounce across the entire pitch and turf that remains firm under
foot.
Laser equipment is being used to produce an even pitch gradient, and a specially-designed grass seed variant known as Sea
Dwarf Paspalum has been carefully selected to reduce water consumption by more than 50 per cent.
Commenting on the design of the pitches, Mohammed Ebrahim Al Mahmood, general secretary of Abu Dhabi Sports
Council, said: “It’s taken months of meticulous planning and preparation to get us to this stage, but with construction now
underway, we are on course to produce a set of playing surfaces which everyone in the UAE can be extremely proud of.”
The pitches are being developed in two phases: the construction phase, which lasts approximately 15 weeks, then the
maintenance phase, which involves intense daily care in response to the surroundings in which each pitch is growing, he
added.
The FIFA Club World Cup UAE 2009 presented by Toyota will take place from December 9 to 19 in Abu Dhabi.

Al Futtaim cancels plan for Four Seasons hotel
The Al Futtaim Group Real Estate (Afgre) has cancelled plans to go ahead with the UAE's first Four Seasons Hotel and
Resort in Dubai Festival City.
The 400-room Four Seasons Hotel and Resort was originally slated for opening in 2011. Al Futtaim Group Real Estate
opened the Al Badia golf club in 2004 before passing on the management of the facility to Four Seasons in 2007.
The original plan was to have a Four Seasons hotel adjoining the golf course. However, now, "the hotel is no longer moving
forward," Adrienne O'Brien, sales and marketing manager of Four Seasons said.
The golf club is now to be rebranded as Al Badia until a future operator is finally chosen.
A source close to the project said that the Intercontinental Hotel in Dubai Festival City will take over operations of the golf
club.
However, O'Brien said this was "purely speculation at this point in time".
The reason behind the cancellation of the Four Seasons hotel is not known and officials at Al Futtaim Group Real Estate
were unavailable for comment.

Al Futtaim to develop major real estate project in Morocco
Al Futtaim Capital, part of Dubai-based conglomerate Al Futtaim Group, on Sunday said it will develop a large multi-billion
dollar master-planned community in Morocco.
"Al Futtaim Capital is in the final stages of acquiring a seven million square meter plot of land in Bouznika, Morocco, to
develop a master-planned community encompassing a mix of residential, retail and leisure facilities," the company said in a
statement.
Marwan Shehadeh, managing director of Al Futtaim Capital, told Gulf News, his company will finalize the master-planning
of the multi-billion dollar project later this year.
"It is difficult to put a value on the project. But we are talking about a few billions of dollars.”
This is the company’s first major foray into the North African country. It is currently developing Dubai Festival City and
Cairo Festival City – under the 'Festival City' concept.
Once the master plan is finalized, the Dubai-based conglomerate will seek the relevant governmental approvals before
officially launching the project in 2010.
The project is located half way between the capital city of Rabat and Casablanca, the country’s business hub, with a 5.5km
frontage on the busiest highway of the country that connects the two cities.
This will be the second investment forming part of Al Futtaim MENA Real Estate Development Fund and will include some
of the elements found within the highly acclaimed Festival City concept.
Omar A. Al Futtaim, chief Executive Officer, Al Futtaim said: “By expanding into Morocco, we have a great opportunity to
grow despite the slowdown in the global economy. There is strength, diversity and depth to the Moroccan economy and we
see many good reasons to be confident about our investment. This acquisition gives us a foothold in Morocco that we intend
to build on.
“Morocco is on track to achieve a GDP growth rate above 5 per cent for 2009, one of the highest in the world, which is a
testament to the country’s strong leadership and fundamentals.”

NPC Completes Abu Dhabi's first Holiday Inn Hotel
National Projects & Construction (NPC), a leading construction conglomerate in the UAE, announced that it has completed
the execution of Abu Dhabi's first Holiday Inn Hotel - the Holiday Inn Al Dana Hotel. The company has further announced
that it has handed over the structure for the interior fit out to its developer - Al Qudra Real Estate, the real estate arm of Al
Qudra Holding. The Dh215,000,000 high-end business hotel with state-of-the-art trappings is primarily targeted at the
discerning business traveler and will be the third InterContinental Hotel Group property in the capital.
The project was completed in April 2009 and is considered an architecturally complex structure. Holiday Inn Al Dana is
strategically located in the heart of Abu Dhabi, in Danet Abu Dhabi, a major urban community set in an uptown area of the
capital, and which is being billed as the "Skyscraper City."
Commenting on the handover of the structure, NPC chairman Salem Al Neyadi said, "Building the first Holiday Inn brand
hotel in the capital has been a very rewarding and unique experience. The fact that we have helped Al Qudra realize the
dream of Danet Abu Dhabi, exactly the way it was envisaged, gives us immense satisfaction. The Holiday Inn Al Dana has
been a very challenging project to work on, as it's architectural sophistication called for a special focus on detail. The
project was managed by one of our most experienced and dedicated team of engineers."
Al Neyadi further added, "Our core policy is to work hand-
in-hand with our clients on every project we undertake to
satisfy every construction standard and criteria that has
been set forward. This requires immense effort and
teamwork and I am proud to say that the NPC team has the
ability to deliver the highest quality that strengthens our
credibility and ensures a sound financial investment for our
clients."
The foundations of Holiday Inn Al Dana alone necessitated
the removal of around 9000 cubic metres of earth..14500
cubic meters of concrete and 2,800 tons of steel have been
used in the construction of the project. A total of 2.2
million man hours have been utilized on the project's
construction.
Expressing satisfaction over the structure handover, Eng. Jasim Al Hosani, Estate's Managing Director, said; "Holiday Inn
Al Dana is amongst the anchor attractions in the overall Danet Abu Dhabi master development which is our first major
undertaking. For this project we partnered with NPC because they not only share our vision of the project but also possess
the expertise to deliver on a project that is both structurally complex and iconic. NPC has been a part of many prestigious
projects in the region. We are truly satisfied with the way the project has shaped up."
The interior fit-out is now under way and the hotel is scheduled for opening in September 2009, when it will be ready to
service the business community in the up and coming Danet Abu Dhabi area. Once completed, the four-star hotel will offer
two hundred and three rooms including five top-of-the-range service suites that will distinguish Holiday Inn Al Dana from
other business hotels in the capital, helping it to raise the benchmark for business travel and hospitality in the region.
