Integrated property services and project delivery specialist, Styles&Wood, has completed a £2.6m refurbishment at a prominent hotel development in Dubai, on behalf of JA Resorts and Hotels.
The 35,000ft² project required the conversion of a former residential tower into the four-star Ocean View Hotel. The scheme was delivered by the Altrincham-headquartered company’s JV with Dutco Transport Company, DutcoStyles&Wood.
The scope of the contract included demolition, strip-out and alteration work; mechanical, electrical and power-service installation; and a comprehensive refurbishment across six floors, which features an external terrace, gyms, conference suites and bars, shops and management offices.
The 338-room Ocean View Hotel is the latest addition to the city’s Jumeirah Beach Residence, a 1.7km beach-front development featuring 40 high-rise towers. The scheme is the only four-star beachfront hotel in Dubai, and overlooks the Arabian Gulf and The Palm Jumeirah.
Warren Gemlik, general manager at DutcoStyles&Wood, comments: “This was a prestigious project delivered to the very high specification demanded by one the world’s most exclusive tourist destinations. In order to meet the client’s tight schedule and ensure smooth delivery, we devised a robust schedule of works which included the co-ordination of more than 150 operatives working 24 hours a day.”
