The Strand

Improving the beach experience along the popular Strand in Dubai.

Jumeirah Group enlisted the help of Colliers Project Leaders to improve the Strand, the popular 700-meter walkway along the Jumeirah beach. We took full responsibility – from validating the design briefs, construction supervision, to close-out and hand-over. In addition to the new bars, spa and watersports facilities, the project included upgrades to the irrigation system, external lighting, the Wi-Fi network, and way-finding signage. To minimise disturbance to guests, work was undertaken during the off-peak summer months with specific micro-programmes for each stage. Although the team faced additional challenges such as limited access to the site and working night shifts, we delivered the project on time and 33% below budget.
