The master development is one of the most important economic zones in the UAE housing several factories and a port.
Once soil has been improved and the plot leveled by another contractor, RAQ will begin the execution project for the Amazon fulfillment center. Client targeted time duration for the completion of “Build to Suit (BTS), Fulfilment Centre (FC) Phase 1 – “AUH1” project will be in 14 months (420 days).

As always, we plan our project in phases and divide areas in zones for easy deployment of resources.
Erection of steel starts of in Zone 2. We start the erection from the left; this is the absolution center of the entire building.
A shopping mall in motor city, unlike any other built by the group, was the architectural vision of the end-user. Since many of the buildings currently occupied by the group are leased, the architectural design rights to any of them do not belong to them.
They decided to use RAQ for a design and build project, where they wanted a building that looked like a container, and that would host all their brands
