Dubai – Mubasher: Damac Properties has awarded China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) an AED 72 million construction contract for road and infrastructure works at its 55 million-square-foot community AKOYA Oxygen.

Under the contract, CSCEC will execute a slew of works at Victoria, Avencia, and Amargo clusters, which comprise 1,623 villas, according to a company statement.

“This latest contract award to CSCEC will see major road and infrastructure work being carried out at three clusters within AKOYA Oxygen, providing access and services to support 1,623 villas,” general manager of operations at Damac Properties Ali Sajwani commented.
