Its contract is worth Dh13.8 million.Mohammed Al Rais, regional president for Hill&#8217;s project management group, said: &#8220;This five-star hotel will be an important tourist attraction on fast-growing Saadiyat Island,&#8221; &#013;<br \/>\nThe award is the second major hospitality contract picked up by Hill in the Middle East in the past two weeks. The company also recently announced that it would help to deliver a new Marriott Hotel within the diplomatic quarter of Saudi Arabia&#8217;s capital, Riyadh, under a two-year, US$2.7m deal. The 38,000 square metre hotel will have a conference centre, ballroom, 80 hotel rooms and 140 serviced apartments.&#013;<br \/>\nA CBRE report for the first quarter of 2016 stated that occupancy rates in Abu Dhabi hotels dropped by 2 per cent to 75.7 per cent. This was despite a 9 per cent increase in passenger growth through Abu Dhabi International Airport. Average room rates also fell, leading to a 20 per cent year-on-year decline in revenue per available room \u2014 to Dh375 per room per night, from Dh500 in February 2015.&#8221;The drop in performance was mainly attributed to growth in room supply, which has heightened competition in the market, said CBRE&#8217;s UAE head of research and consultancy, Mat Green.&#013;<br \/>\nmfahy@thenational.ae&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource : thenational.ae&#013;<br \/>\nRead more&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenational.ae\/business\/hill-international-to-oversee-rixos-saadiyat-construction-in-abu-dhabi\" target=\"_blank\">Hill International to oversee Rixos Saadiyat construction in Abu Dhabi<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#013; &#013; Hill International has landed a two-year contract to oversee construction of the new Rixos&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10640","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-property-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p75ss1-2LC","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52361,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/saadiyat-island-resort-deal-awarded-to-hill-international\/","url_meta":{"origin":10640,"position":0},"title":"Saadiyat Island resort deal awarded to Hill International","date":"April 20, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"\r The US project management firm Hill International has won a one-year contract to provide construction management for a new resort development at Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi.The company said the contract has been awarded by Sheikh Suroor Projects Department, on behalf of Sheikh Suroor bin Mohammed Al Nahyan.
