This milestone underscores AMWAJ's efficiency and commitment to quality, as the project remains well ahead of schedule toward its Q2 2026 completion target. With 44% of the total construction progress achieved, interior and MEP works are now in full swing.
Representatives from Emsquare Engineering Consultants and Sumer Contracting Company, the main contractor, were also present alongside hundreds of site workers and staff, who were honoured with over 400 celebratory meals in recognition of their dedication.
Starlight Park comprises four residential towers (B+G+5+R), offering a total of 172 thoughtfully designed apartments in a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom configurations.
