Nakheel said on Monday that its 11km Boardwalk project on Dubai's Palm Jumeirah has moved a step closer with the award of a contract to Overseas AST Company.
The AED150 million Boardwalk will include an East and West Pier - each stretching 100 metres out to sea - featuring glass-encased cafes and restaurants.
The piers, to be constructed by Overseas AST Co at either end of the crescent, will each contain 1,000 square metres of decking, Nakheel said in a statement.
Construction is due to start before the end of 2014, with anticipated completion in mid-2016.
Accessible from 14 points along the existing Palm Jumeirah sidewalk, The Boardwalk will be created by building over the rocks of the Palm's breakwater.
It will be six metres wide with 30 kiosks, offering refreshments and souvenirs, throughout its 11km length.
Other projects underway by Nakheel on Palm Jumeirah include Nakheel Mall, The Pointe and Palm West Beach.
A Nakheel spokesman said: "The Boardwalk at Palm Jumeirah, one of several new projects underway on the island, will be a big draw for Palm residents, the wider community of Dubai and the millions of tourists who visit Dubai each year."
