Al Fara’a Integrated Construction Group, a group of ten integrated construction solutions providers in the UAE, has announced the launch of its facilities management (FM) division, a new subsidiary established to supply FM services and solutions for the expanding real estate portfolio of Al Fara’a Properties.

The launch of the new division is aligned to the Al Fara’a Group’s continued focus on vertical integration to ensure quality value adding solutions throughout the construction value chain. Initially the expansion will address the FM requirements of the developer’s inaugural project, – Le Grand Chateau (LGC) in Jumeirah Village, currently at the handover phase, and eventually those of its future developments.

Amidst the ongoing handover of LGC and plans to deliver the remaining Al Fara’a projects in Jumeirah Village, including Mulberry Mansions and The Manhattan in 2010, the new FM division will provide customised and fully-integrated property management solutions to these projects.
