Nakheel has awarded Mar Marine & Building Contracting a contract for Dubai Islands shoreline works on Island B. Announced on 8 October, the package will upgrade about three kilometres of the western shoreline and create 320 metres of additional beach frontage near Bay Villas.
What the contract covers
Completion is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2027. The work includes new breakwaters, removal of existing rock protection, beach formation and improvements to existing beach areas. The announcement does not disclose the contract value.
The package supports Bay Villas, a 636-home community of villas and townhouses. It follows a separate AED527 million infrastructure and utilities contract awarded for Island B in April 2026.
Imlaak analysis: Track the specific milestone
For buyers following Dubai Islands, this gives a defined coastal-delivery milestone to track alongside residential construction. The Q4 2027 target applies to the marine and beach package; it is not a confirmed handover date for individual homes.
