Abu Dhabi-based NMDC Group has secured a USD610.1 million contract from Pasay Harbor City Corporation to undertake large-scale dredging and land reclamation works in Manila Bay, marking NMDC’s first major project in the Philippines.
The 30 month contract covers the reclamation of approximately 130 hectares to support the Harbor City development in Pasay City. NMDC’s scope of work includes sand supply, dredging and land reclamation, installation of vertical drains, vibro compaction, and rock placement.
The project forms part of Pasay City’s strategy to address land scarcity and urban congestion by expanding usable land into its municipal waters. Harbor City is planned as a mixed-use, waterfront development with seven interconnected districts designed around a 15-minute city concept, integrating residential, commercial, and recreational functions. The Harbor City development is targeted for completion by 2028.
