Master developer Nakheel awarded a contract worth AED35 million (USD 9.5 million) to Dubai-based GBH International Contracting LLC for the construction of a sports, health and leisure hub at Dubai’s Jumeirah Park community. The center will have a built-up area of 8,600 square meters. Construction will begin in October.

Featuring an Olympic-size swimming pool, one of Dubai’s biggest gyms, a Clubhouse, spa and medical center, the new destination will combine sports facilities with a range of restaurants, cafes, shops and services to create a health and wellbeing-focused attraction at the high-end community. There will also be parking for nearly 100 vehicles.

The project will have a range of children’s facilities, including a nursery and kids’ pool. Retail amenities will include a supermarket, medical clinic, beauty outlets and everyday convenience stores.

The Clubhouse – home of the pool, restaurant, gym and spa elements of the complex – is set to become the largest of Nakheel’s growing collection of community clubs across Dubai, complementing existing and upcoming clubs at Jumeirah Islands, Jebel Ali Village, Al Furjan, Warsan Village and Jumeirah Village Circle.
