Riyadh, (27 Jan 2021): Red Sea Global RSG (formerly known as TRSDC) , the developer behind the world’s most ambitious regeneration tourism project, has won two awards at the 2020 edition of the Big Project Middle East Awards, held on January 26 at the Ritz Carlton JBR in Dubai.
Following an extensive judging process that included more than 140 nominations, RSG was named The Developer of The Year in recognition of the significant progress made at the new destination and the exceptional work undertaken to set new standards, particularly in sustainability and environmental regeneration in and around the area of its flagship project.
RSG was also awarded the Excellence in Health and Employee Safety award for their Covid-19 Health and Safety Plan, celebrating their efforts to maintain the health and safety of their workforce during the pandemic, whether onsite or at their headquarters.
Dubox by AMANA, a subsidiary of AMANA Investments, won the Sustainability Project of The Year for its sustainability efforts on the Turtle Bay development at The Red Sea Project.
Riad Bseibes, CEO of AMANA Investments, said: “We are delighted to win this significant award for our work on The Red Sea Project, which demonstrates our commitment from the outset to progress this project in a sustainable fashion with like-minded stakeholders in order to protect this pristine destination and its unique habitats.”
The Turtle Bay is currently under development with AMANA Investments involved in both the residential housing and the three-star management hotel, which is set to open by the end of Q2 2021. The village will provide accommodation, office space, and supporting civil amenities to around 14,000 employees who will eventually operate the destination.
Late last year RSG announced that it is creating the world’s largest battery storage facility to enable the entire site to be powered by renewable energy 24 hours a day, including the island sites.
