Al Marjan reclamation completed
Rakeen, a leading property developer and master planner, and the real estate development arm of the Ras Al Khaimah Government, has announced that it has completed reclamation work for the US$1bn Al Marjan Island. The first man made island in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah effectively expands the emirate’ s coastline by an additional 21km.
Rakeen has also revealed that infrastructure work for Phase One of the 2.7m sq/m project is underway, covering water, electricity, district cooling, sewerage, storm water service drainage, telecommunication, roads, channel crossings and street lighting facilities.
Rakeen is responsible for the reclamation and infrastructure works of Al Marjan Island and is also developing Bab Al Bahr, the island’s inaugural development project that will serve as a gateway to the integrated island community. Leading regional and international developers have been awarded contracts for other prestigious development projects on Al Marjan Island.
Rakeen completed the reclamation work of the entire Al Marjan Island after finalising the sand filling and rock work of Island Number 3 in January. Reclamation work for Island Number 2 and Island Number 3 was completed in 2008.
