The larger of the two new schemes won by Al Futtaim Carillion (AFC) is a £225m contract to build a mixed-use development on the Dubai Creek waterfront. The project includes retail, hotels, a mosque, museums, workshops and a market.
Meraas has also selected AFC as the preferred bidder for a £155m contract to build 'La Mer' at Jumeirah in Dubai. The project involves the construction of a mixture of retail and public-facility buildings, together with substantial external landscaping to create over 1km of beach-themed frontage.
Carillion chief executive Richard Howson said: ''We are delighted to have been selected as the preferred bidder for these two major contracts. This reflects our reputation for high-quality and reliability and we look forward to working with Meraas to deliver these prestigious projects."
