Al Adrak Group, a leading engineering construction company in Oman, has signed an agreement with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning (MoHUP) for the development of a premium mixed-use urban project within the mega Sultan Haitham City in Muscat at a total investment of RO185 million ($420 million), said media reports.

The project will cover an area of around 460,000 sq m in Neighbourhood 6 (C and D) of one of Oman’s most ambitious urban projects.

The deal was officially signed by Dr Khalfan bin Said Al Shueili, Minister of Housing and Urban Planning, and Dr Thomas Alexander, Chairman of Al Adrak Group, in the presence of senior officials.

This development aligns with the ministry’s strategy to collaborate with prominent private sector developers to create high-quality, sustainable urban communities that support Oman Vision 2040. 

It is anticipated that the project will both enhance the residential appeal and boost the investment attractiveness of Sultan Haitham City as development advances, stated the report.

Meanwhile, Oman-based Al Ahly Sabbour Developments has officially laid the foundation stone for Wadi Zaha, the first of its three integrated developments within Sultan Haitham City. Its other projects are Wadi Safa and Wadi Tala. 

The launch of the construction work underscores the company’s commitment to delivering on announced plans, not as a one-off project, but as part of a sustained development strategy aimed at contributing to the city’s growth, it added.
