Dubai Holding inks AED 5B construction contract with CSCEC ME

CSCEC ME began operations in the UAE in 2003.

Dubai Holding said it signed an AED 5 billion construction contract with China State Construction Engineering Corporation Middle East (CSCEC ME) to build the group’s new headquarters and the Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers project in Dubai.

The group said in a statement that the contract is the largest construction deal it has awarded to date.
It said the new headquarters will consolidate its operations in an integrated workplace at one of the emirate’s most prominent commercial locations, with the building scheduled to open in 2029.

The contract also includes the completion of Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers, comprising 754 Jumeirah-branded residential units across two towers at the same location.

Dubai Holding noted that architecture, engineering and urban planning firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) designed the new headquarters, while SCDA Architects designed Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers, which is being developed by Meraas, with unit handovers scheduled to begin in 2030.

China State Construction Engineering Corporation Middle East began operations in the UAE in 2003 and has since completed more than 110 projects across the GCC, spanning residential, commercial, hospitality and infrastructure developments. The company draws on the capabilities of its parent group, China State Construction Engineering Corporation, one of the world’s largest construction and investment groups.
