(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Master developer Nakheel and Spain's RIU Hotels & Resorts have signed a contract worth Dh385 million for the construction of their 800-room, joint venture beachfront resort and water park at Deira Islands in Dubai.
Set for delivery in 2019, the resort, which has a total investment value of Dh670 million, will be built by Bin Ladin Contracting Group Dubai, who was chosen from a shortlist of 10 contractors who bid for the project. Construction will be completed in two years.

Our first international joint venture will bring a new dimension to Dubai's hospitality offering by providing a new concept in accommodation and attracting a new market segment to the emirate."
