Kleindienst Group this week became the first company to break ground on The World islands project.
The developer of the Heart of Europe has started construction on Germany Island one week after it appointed Foundation Construction Group to begin soil improvement on the development.
“Exactly two months ago, we launched Germany Island with a clear promise to start construction in Q1 of 2010. I am very proud to say we are delivering on that promise,” said Kleindienst chief executive Josef Kleindienst.
“While we are the first developer to begin construction, we are aware of several more that are not far behind us.
“The World project is very real, it is taking shape as we speak and I firmly believe that when complete it will become the most expensive [area] in the emirate of Dubai.”
The soil improvement operation, called “vibro-compaction”, involves the use of electric depth vibrators that mechanically agitate and lock the sand particles together down to seabed level to ensure that all construction on the island is stable.
Commenting on the Kleindienst groundbreaking, Nakheel executive chairman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem said: “On behalf of Nakheel and everyone involved in the creation of The World, I would like to congratulate Mr Kleindienst on this important milestone. We look forward to the successful development of Germany Island into another world class destination in Dubai.”
Since The Heart of Europe launched in December 2009, Kleindienst Group has sold 11 villas on Germany Island.
