Sweet Homes General Contracting, the in-house contracting arm of Sweet Homes and the main contractor for ‘Ajman Uptown,’ has completed the concrete pouring on the largest foundation raft within the Dh3.5 billion ($953 million) community project.

A total of 6,064 cu m of concrete was poured continuously within a 26-hour period to form the substructure of ‘Kentia’, one of the seven commercial towers within the massive master development, said a top company official.

“We have been working non-stop to hit the delivery deadline of ‘Ajman Uptown’, and we are leveraging the expertise of our partners to ensure that progress will mirror the targets we have previously set,” said Fawad Sattar Dero, managing director, Sweet Homes General Contracting.

Dero said the excavation for the basement of the building was completed within a period of only two months.

“The construction milestones we have achieved one after another reiterate our commitment to our investors and stakeholders, and the strength we maintain to deliver on our promise and contribute to the growth of Ajman as a real estate destination in the region,” he noted.

'The concrete pouring on the tower, which is a B+G+4type+HC building that occupies a total plot area of 5,799 sq. m., has been completed using five mobile concrete pumps and a laser level machine.'

'These were fixed by SHGC and the team from Remix Tech, the concrete supplier who sourced the material from two plants in separate areas. The pour was fully supervised by consultant Engr. Adnan Saffarini Office, with SHGC taking the necessary steps to ensure that the ideal concrete temperature was maintained as well as the overall safety of the workers,' he added.

Ajman Uptown comprises 1,504 villas, seven commercial and residential towers with a shopping mall, hotels, hospital, two Mosques, club, market and a school.

It takes inspiration from classic French architecture with the overall theme ‘L’ Art De Vivre’ or ‘Redefining the Art of Living’. Spread over 4 million sq ft of land that is directly accessible from the Emirates Road and adjacent to Emirates City, the project offers 8 different types of two, three and four-bedroom townhouses and exclusively designed five-bedroom VIP villas.-TradeArabia News Service
