Mabarak Center

After undertaking significant amount of work including excavation of multiple basements, shoring piles as well as pile foundations for building structures, the construction had to be stopped. The main reasons for the latter included reduced capacity of the foundation piles and reduction in available parking due to a loss of an additional lot for dedicated parking. Since the project had remained stalled for many years a review of its commercial parameters was also required.
