The projects, which are due to be completed in the second quarter of 2009 and December 2008 respectively, confirm ZSML's distinct commitment to quality and ensuring on-time delivery.

The Ibn Battuta Gate Spa development will be a 73,060 sq ft luxury spa destination and form part of the Ibn Battuta Gate Hotel located adjacent to Ibn Battuta Mall. Designed by Arketipo, a Turkish architecture firm, the Spa concept will be derived from both Islamic and Ottoman cultures.

'The UAE is home to the largest real estate projects market in the Gulf with 37% of the $2 trillion being invested across the Gulf happening here. We launched ZSML as a distinct offering in this space and the new projects secured in 2008 vindicate its success to date and aggressive expansion plans,'



said HE Mohammed Ali Al Hashimi, Executive Chairman of Zabeel Investments.

'The construction and development industry in the region is blighted with delays and question marks over quality. ZSML was established to play a dynamic role in the growth of the UAE construction industry,' he added.

Malcolm Ross, Seven Tides' COO added, 'The rapidly growing region requires anticipating the market needs in order to answer demand in the timeliest way. Seven Tides made the choice to work with different international key players such as ZSML, a company that shares our commitment to high quality world-class facilities.'

Also designed by Arketipo, the Palm Deira Sales Centre is a 178,142 sq ft project worth Dhs165m. It will serve as Nakheel's sales office on the massive Deira Island Front, due for completion in December 2008. The design of the building integrates both modern elements and local architectural styles. The sales centre will accommodate up to 450 staff and will be a state-of-the-art facility offering the best in customer and sales services.

'The strength of our company stems from its workers and their focus on delivering quality projects on time,' said Levent Kutulu, General Manager of ZSML.

'Our goal in the coming 12 months with these projects is to maintain our track record of on-time delivery. Across the sector risk management, quality and imbalance in projects remain a challenge - we are focused on not succumbing to these issues and focusing on excellence,' he added.
