From the Dubai royal family to senior government officials, the weight of this contract is self-evident.

Dual landmark Luozi core business district

The project includes two major projects: the new headquarters building of Dubai Holdings and the high-end residential area of Jumeirah Emirates Tower. The residential part is planned to consist of 754 luxury branded homes. The project is located in the core business district of Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, adjacent to the DIFC Dubai International Financial Centre, the Burj Khalifa, and the Museum of the Future. It is situated in the most central high-end business district of Dubai city.

Further Deepening of China Arab Infrastructure Cooperation

This is not only a construction project contract worth 5 billion dirhams, but also another milestone in the deep cooperation between Chinese companies and UAE officials. In recent years, more and more leading Chinese companies have entered the United Arab Emirates to participate in Dubai's urban infrastructure and landmark construction, deeply integrating into the city's planning and development. With the continuous warming of economic and trade exchanges between China and Arab countries, the voice and influence of Chinese people in the local area are steadily increasing. The UAE government continues to invest in urban infrastructure and continuously improve the supporting facilities of core business districts. The upgrading of urban infrastructure directly drives the long-term growth of land and property values in the area. Infrastructure construction comes first, followed by real estate. The urban renewal of Dubai's core area means long-term stable asset dividends.Editor/Gao Xue
