TRSDC awards facilities management contract for its Coastal Village
The Red Sea Development Company (TRSDC), the developer behind the world’s most ambitious regenerative tourism project, has awarded a contract to El-Seif Group for facilities management services at The Red Sea Project’s Coastal Village.
El-Seif Group, based in the Middle East, will be responsible for delivering facilities management services to 18 residential buildings, 200 villas and townhouses, and the management office at the Coastal Village, where 14,000 employees who will eventually operate the destination will live and work.
“Like our guests, our employees are at the heart of our destination, which is why the Coastal Village has been designed to set new standards in employee accommodation and welfare practices. By working with leading service provider El-Seif Group, we are honoring our commitment to provide our employees with the highest quality of accommodation and facilities which are both comfortable and secure,” said John Pagano, CEO, The Red Sea Development Company.
El-Seif Group was selected due to its alignment with TRSDC’s environmental and social principles and will provide sustainable living for all residents of the Coastal Village. Both companies will collaborate to develop, tailor and enhance the quality of living for all.
Fahad El-Seif, vice chairman, integrated facility management, El-Seif Group, said: “The size and scale of
TRSDC’s Coastal Village is incredibly ambitious and their commitment to go above and beyond existing employee welfare standards is impressive. Through our collaborative approach we intend to work closely with TRSDC to oversee the planning and implementation of services and protocols to ensure a high-quality service for every employee.”
The 1.5-million-square-meter Coastal Village area includes management offices, villas, townhouses and apartments, and a 144-room hotel. Envisaged as a vibrant community and set in a prime location on
the waterfront, it will offer a range of amenities and leisure facilities including fitness centers, beach clubs and dining outlets, plus a hospital and school.
To minimize TRSDC’s environmental impact, the Coastal Village uses the latest off-site manufacturing and prefabrication techniques to develop buildings, reducing the carbon footprint. TRSDC also uses eco-friendly, sustainable “green” concrete on-site to minimize emissions throughout the construction process.
