Work has begun on a vast double tower real estate development in Jordan after a groundbreaking ceremony attended by the country’s prime minister. Nader Al Dahabi was present as the first steps were taken towards the building of Sanaya Amman, a $300 million (£150 million) development in the capital Amman.
Built by Dubai-based firm Limitless, the residential towers will soar to more than 200m in height and are designed to form a new hub in the west of the city.
Quoted by UAE paper the National, Limitless regional director Bahaa Abouhatab said:
“It is a little cheaper to build here than in the UAE, probably because labour costs are lower.
“But because the amount of construction is growing in Jordan, we’re trying to make sure we build within the current market prices so that we produce a product that people can afford.”
According to the paper, he also said political stability in Jordan combined with an improving economy meant the area was an attractive market. The 60-storey project will also feature the world’s highest suspended swimming pool 125 metres above ground.
Due for completion in 2011, the development will also include private terraces, express elevators and floor-to-ceiling windows.
