Innovo Group has been selected as the main contractor for Package 3 of the Aldar-led development, Saadiyat Lagoons, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).  

Aldar is a real estate company that works across a wide range of sectors in the country.  

Innovo’s expertise in eco-friendly construction techniques and materials is claimed to have been a key factor in its appointment for this project, according to a press release published on Zawya.  

Saadiyat Lagoons is a 615,000m² residential complex on Saadiyat Island, featuring 975 mangrove villas. 

These villas, constructed from recycled materials, aim to achieve the Estidama Pearl 1 rating, which assesses the sustainability of community developments in the UAE's climate. 

Surrounding the villas is a 900,000m² expanse of protected wilderness. 

Innovo CEO Bishoy Azmy said: “Sustainability is at the heart of our work, and we recognise the role that the ‘Saadiyat Lagoon’ development will play in advancing sustainable living in the UAE. 

“Sustainability is not just a facet of the construction industry; it’s an integral part of Innovo’s commitment to providing exceptional residential services for our portfolio of clients. Aldar is one of the leading developers in sustainable living and we look forward to working alongside the team and contributing our expertise to this project.” 

Innovo's scope of work for this project encompasses civil and infrastructure work, landscaping, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, as well as interior design finishes.  

The project will feature energy-efficient MEP systems and environmentally friendly materials, with every element designed to reduce the site's ecological footprint.  

This development comes after ground was broken on two residential projects, Alaya and Elysian Mansions, within the Tilal Al Ghaf community in Dubai, UAE, in January this year.
