United Arab Emirates-based real estate developer DAMAC Properties has awarded the Engineering Construction and Reconstruction Company two contracts for its master development.
Named DAMAC Hills, the new, self-contained community spreads across an area of more than four million square feet.
The two contracts cover the GEMS Estates Cluster and Cavalli Villas within DAMAC Hills. The estimated value of both contracts when combined is Dh588m ($160.09m).
The first contract is for the main works of GEMS Estates and is said to be worth Dh341m of the overall Dh588m.
GEMS Estates is a high-end collection of ultra-luxurious mansions branded by Switzerland-based jewellery maker de GRISOGONO, with home interiors also branded by Italian fashion company Roberto Cavalli.
Consequently, the project is said to be the world’s first co-branded real estate project.
