Aldar completes Repton School on Reem Island

Fast track programme completed within 15 months

Aldar Properties has completed construction of the Repton School project and handed the asset over to the operator EKI.

The project consists of two main buildings – one focused on teaching, and the other on sports.

Occupying a 2.5 hectare plot, the main school building incorporates a basement, ground floor and three further floors.

Athletic facilities include tennis courts, a 25m Olympic standard swimming pool and two multi-purpose gyms. The school also boasts a dance theatre. Construction commenced in May 2016 and finished in August 2017.

The school is located within Aldar’s master planned community on Reem Island close to the developer’s other projects including Sun & Sky Towers, The Gate & Arc Towers, Meera, and The Bridges.

Talal Al Dhiyebi, chief development officer, Aldar Properties, said: “I am pleased to be able to hand over Repton School, after what has been a high tempo construction schedule, in time for the new academic year.

“We have a track record in delivering schools that will meet the needs of future generations, and I am sure that Repton students will benefit greatly from the facilities on offer. I am also pleased that it is located in a catchment area that will benefit a great number of people living in Aldar homes on Reem Island.”
