Dutch Foundations achieves significant progress on IMKAN’s Makers District Project in Abu Dhabi

The “Pixel” community will feature seven towers comprising apartments, co-working office spaces, as well as food and beverage and retail elements surrounded by water features

To date, Dutch Foundations has completed all 938 secant piles of temporary shoring. Excavation work has commenced within the Pixel for a depth of 5 metres to accommodate two basements of approximately 22,000 sq. meters each. Permanent piling works are set to be finished by February 2019.

At IMKAN, we are committed to achieving timely milestones across our portfolio and Pixel is no exception. The development validates our priority to enrich the UAE’s residential and commercial landscape through setting a new benchmark for community-living.”

Richard Larmer, Senior Development Director of IMKAN commented: “The quality of this development is already evident from the construction contracts being awarded to renowned specialists in our industry. We are committed to delivering the project per the highest standards possible, using the latest technology and construction methods. I have no doubt that Pixel will help raise the bar for construction in the capital once it is complete.”
