Saudi gigaproject developer Diriyah Company has received prequalification statements from firms interested in constructing the upcoming Radisson Red superblock in the second phase of the Diriyah Gate development (DG2). The prequalification notice was issued on 11 June, and submissions were made on 22 June. The Radisson Red superblock consists of a hotel, residential apartments, retail facilities, commercial office spaces and a park. The project is situated in the Boulevard East district, between King Khalid Road and the Grand Boulevard in Diriyah. The project is the latest in a series of other superblocks that are expected to be floated to the market this year, including the Waldorf Astoria superblock, Edition superblock and Pendry superblock. Diriyah tendered a contract in April to build the new iconic museum in the DG2 area. The same month, the client had awarded an estimated $1.1bn contract for a utilities relocation package for the King Saud University (KSU) project located in DG2. The contract was awarded to the joint venture of Beijing-headquartered China Railway Construction Corporation and China Railway Construction Group Central Plain Construction Company. Also in April, the company had awarded an estimated $1.3bn construction deal to build the Royal Diriyah Opera House. The contract was awarded to a joint venture of local firm El-Seif Engineering & Contracting, Beijing-headquartered China State Construction Engineering Corporation and Qatari firm Midmac Contracting. Tendering activity is also progressing on several other major schemes at Diriyah, including the King Khalid Road project, which passes through the development. The client received bids from firms in the second week of April for the main construction works on this project. The client is also expected to finalise the contract award shortly for the Arena Block assets in the Boulevard Southwest section in the DG2 area.   For registration as a supplier: https://www.diriyahksa.com/Account/Register (ICE RIYADH)
