The foundation and retaining structure works at SCM01, the first SmartCity building in Phase One currently under construction, have been completed. SmartCity Malta is now engaged in the construction of the super-structure. Aligned with this structural progress, the façade works have also commenced with the appointed local contractor. The planning and construction works at SmartCity Malta are shaping up at a fast pace and the building structure is on target according to plan.  

SCM01 will consist of 12,000 square meters of ready-to-use Grade A offices to be completed and handed over to the first business partners by 2010, as scheduled.

SmartCity Malta has submitted its application to MEPA for the site-wide grading permit for all phases of the self-sustained business township which will cover the lagoon, shopping boulevard and the residential area. The tender for the site-wide grading has also been issued and grading works are expected to commence shortly.

SmartCity Malta has further invested in an extensive value-engineering exercise to maximise the efficiency of the design and implementation of the entire project.  This has resulted in drastic volumetric reductions of excavated earthwork material which is recycled and rehabilitated on the site.  By conducting such exercises SmartCity Malta continues to follow sound building practices.
