Middle East-based El Seif Group will be responsible for delivering facilities management services to 18 residential buildings, 200 villas and townhouses, and the management office at the Coastal Village, where 14,000 employees who will eventually operate the destination will live and work.

“Like our guests, our employees are at the heart of our destination which is why the Coastal Village has been designed to set new standards in employee accommodation and welfare practices. By working with leading service provider, El Seif Group, we are honoring our commitment to provide our employees with the highest quality of accommodation and facilities which are both comfortable and secure,” said John Pagano, CEO, The Red Sea Development Company.

El Seif Group was selected due to its alignment with TRSDC’s environmental and social principles, a statement said.

Fahad El Seif, vice chairman, IFM ‘Integrated Facility Management, El Seif Group said “The size and scale of TRSDC’s Coastal Village is incredibly ambitious and their commitment to go above and beyond existing employee welfare standards is impressive. Through our collaborative approach we intend to work closely with TRSDC to oversee the planning and implementation of services and protocols to ensure a high-quality service for every employee.”

It will offer a range of amenities and leisure facilities including fitness centers, beach clubs and dining outlets, as well as a hospital and school. The village uses off-site manufacturing and prefabrication techniques to develop buildings, reducing the carbon footprint. TRSDC also uses eco-friendly, sustainable ‘green’ concrete on-site to minimise emissions throughout the construction process.
