The team will work for Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), carrying out all real estate and construction delivery-related programme management for its Dubai Trade Centre Jebel Ali development.
CH2M Hill-Mace went through a rigorous procurement process to win the highly competitive multi-company tender. They will now provide full-service consultancy, real estate programme management, design, construction and operations management for the development and delivery of Dubai Trade Centre-Jebel Ali and the Expo 2020 Dubai site.
Post Expo 2020 Dubai, which runs until April 2021, the site aims to continue to inspire the region’s youth through the delivery of an environment that fosters cultural learning, collaboration and and business. The aim is for the Dubai Trade Centre Jebel Ali development to become a new focal point of global business tourism for the region.
CH2M Hill and Mace had already joined forces on several previous occasions including delivery of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Separately, CH2M Hill played a strategic consulting role on Rio 2016, while Mace is the programme manager for the Qatar Public Works programmes and provided strategic programme advice to the organising committee of Astana Expo 2017.
Ahmed Al Khatib, director - real estate, DWTC, said: “In CH2M Hill and Mace we have a proven partner that we feel confident will enable the delivery of a state-of-the-art home for Expo 2020 Dubai. The success of the development is critically linked to its timely and efficient evolution to the planned legacy of Dubai Trade Centre – Jebel Ali, and we look forward to seeing this partnership with CH2M HILL-Mace support DWTC and Dubai in fulfilling this long term commitment."
