Aldar Properties has awarded the early works contract for the first phase of 'Mayan', a residential development located on Yas Island, to Dutch Foundation and Concrete Rehabilitation Company, WLL.

The AED30 million contract provides for shoring, piling and earthworks for Mayan’s 512 apartments which are spread across five buildings. The Abu Dhabi-based full-service engineering foundation company, Dutch Foundation, has been appointed to carry out the work over a five month period with commencement effective immediately.

Talal Al Dhiyebi, Chief Development Officer at Aldar, said, "The enthusiasm for Mayan since its launch last year has been extremely encouraging. We have witnessed strong demand for luxury residences in prime locations, and Mayan caters to this demand with high quality homes in Abu Dhabi’s most exciting destination, Yas Island which is home to a number of world class amenities and attractions."
