Dubai: Nshama appoints ECC for AED310mn deal for Town Square apartments

Engineering Contracting Company (ECC) has been appointed on the AED310mn contract for the design and construction of the UNA apartments in Town Square Dubai by Nshama.

Commenting on the project, Fred Durie, CEO, Nshama, said: “Town Square Dubai sets the benchmark for future developments in Dubai and the region to appeal to the ‘new’ generation. Technology has changed the way we live and work and therefore communities need to have developments that meet the modern pace of life and work. ECC has a strong track-record in project development and we will draw on their strengths for UNA, the path-breaking co-living community that assures a ‘live life at your price’ value proposition.”

Kareem Farah, CEO, ECC, said: “We always strive to provide our clients with leading, dynamic solutions to deliver projects of the highest quality.  We are ready and excited for this project and look forward to continuing our relationship with Nshama Properties on upcoming developments. 

“There are over 10,000 urban development projects underway* throughout the region with the UAE accounting for over half of the active projects across all segments compared to the rest of the region. With urban development accounting for a large proportion of the projects, there is a clear need for industry players to differentiate their offering and diversify to remain competitive in our challenging market.”
