01 July 2018

Engineering Contracting Company (ECC) says it has secured a Dh310-million ($84.3 million) contract from UAE-based developer Nshama for the design and construction of UNA Apartments within its Town Square Dubai development in Dubai, UAE.

This is the second contract that ECC has secured from Nshama, following the success of its Rawda Apartments.

Spanning over 90,350 sq m, UNA Apartments is a lifestyle residential community that will feature 92 studios, and 764 one-bedroom apartments. The main consultant on the project is Al Wasl Al Jadeed Consultants. It involves the design and construction of two nine-storey buildings with two podium levels accommodating a mixed-use development with numerous retail areas on the ground floor.

ECC will provide its dynamic engineering solutions over a 25-month contract period to oversee and lead on the project’s design and construction.

Commenting on the project, Fred Durie, CEO of Nshama, says: “Town Square Dubai sets the benchmark for future developments in Dubai and the region to appeal to the ‘new’ generation.

“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.”

ECC says it holds a track record of delivering on one-of-a-kind projects and has built a strong presence and solid reputation through its successful ventures and strategic partnerships in the market. One of the well-established and diverse contracting companies in the region, ECC provides unified construction services through its integration with the ECC Group.

CEO Kareem Farah says: “We always strive to provide clients with our 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.”
