Dubai mega project reaches construction landmark with bridge installation.

Construction on a Dubai mega project has reached a milestone as a 7,700-tonne bridge is lifted into place at One Zaabeel. The 192-metre long first section of the steel structure, known as The Link, was lifted 100 metres into the air to begin bringing together the two buildings.

On Thursday, developer Ithra Dubai said the section took 12 days to lift into place. More than 110 jacks and heavy-duty strand jacks were used for the operation, calling for a concerted effort by a team of experts in construction, engineering and contracting.

The first section of the Link is now in its final position. The second lift of 816 tonnes is scheduled for October and will complete the Link to reach its final length of 226 metres.

Property developer Hatten Land Ltd recently found a white knight in Singapore-based hospitality and investment firm Tayrona Capital Pte Ltd to revive its stalled RM2.2 billion Harbour City mixed develop*ment in Melaka.

Spanning six acres, Harbour City is a marine-themed development on the reclaimed island of Pulau Melaka, fronting the Straits of Melaka. It comprises a water theme park, touted to be the largest in Melaka when completed, as well as a mall and three hotel blocks. The highly anticipated project was launched in 2015 and slated to be completed in the second quarter of 2020. Construction of the project has screeched to a halt, however, owing to a dispute with its main contractor.

Even with the completion of Harbour City, it may face the challenge of drawing in visitors. As with most large-scale developments in second-tier cities, property experts The Edge spoke to expressed concern over the viability of the sizeable Harbour City project in sleepy Melaka. They believe its local catchment of below one million would not justify the amount being invested in the project.
