Leading regional developer Nakheel has invited tenders from leading companies for the development of the retail component at Warsan Village, a family-orientated neighbourhood containing 942 three-bedroom modern townhouses on the southwestern corner of International City in Dubai, UAE.

The Warsan Souk, a vibrant, modern retail destination, innovatively-designed as a modern take on the traditional suq, is located between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Manama Road, next to International City.

Nakheel has invited bids for two zones within Warsan Souk involving the development of more than 1,160 retail units, 52 food and beverage (F&B) outlets and 333 town houses. 

A total of 572 retail units, 26 food and beverage (F&B) outlets and 158 townhouses, comprising a total built-up area  of 120,887 sq m, will be developed in the first zone

The second zone, comprising 591 retail units, 26 F&B units and 175 townhouses, will involved a total built-up area of 132,967 sq m.

Spread across eight buildings, Warsan Souk will have two department stores - one at either end of the suq. There will also be over 30 cafes and restaurants, with areas for indoor and alfresco dining, said a statement from Nakheel.  

Warsan Souk will occupy two floors - ground and mezzanine - with most outlets being accessible via their own dedicated entrance and from within the suq itself.

Surrounded by lush green communal areas and connected by long tree-lined avenues, Warsan Village offers residents a unique combination of comfort, convenience, natural beauty and tranquility.

The last date for submitting the tenders has been set for May 13.-TradeArabia News Service
