Select Group, a Dubai-based global real estate developer, has selected China State Construction Engineering Corporation Middle East (CSCEC ME) as the contractor for the first phase of the latest waterfront project, Peninsula, ideally located in the heart of Business Bay.

CSCEC ME, the Middle East’s largest and most established international contractor, has been providing comprehensive construction solutions in the region for over 16 years and has made a significant contribution to the region’s economic development. Its firm dedication to its key values of quality, safety, and reliability stood as the reasons which made Select Group to pick them.

The company’s strong project delivery track record in the UAE supports a portfolio that includes some of the region’s most iconic and urban structures. With an estimated contract worth of $171.2 million, phase one work of the eagerly anticipated mega-waterfront project is expected to begin this month and is expected to be completed in Q4 2024.

The Peninsula waterfront development’s first phase consists of three separate residential developments, including high-rise towers and low-rise waterfront villas, all of which are skillfully blended into the first community-focused residential master plan in Business Bay.

“Our partnership with CSCEC ME demonstrates our commitment to excellence. The appointment of a world-class contractor like CSCEC ME is a further testament to our focused strategy of working with only the best-in-class partners, seamlessly aligning with our core pillars of delivering market excellence.

Following the successful launch of Peninsula in October 2021, Peninsula One and Peninsula Two have almost sold out within just a few weeks, reaffirming the development’s desirable status as the first suburban-style ecosystem in the heart of Dubai’s bustling Business Bay.

With 518 individual units, Peninsula One offers an array of preferences in a single community. It spans over 397,000 sq ft, offering distinctive residential options ranging from studios to spacious two-bedroom apartments.

Additionally, Peninsula One will feature a selection of luxurious waterfront simplexes spread over six floors, situated directly on the Dubai Canal.

Peninsula Two, which is highlighted by a magnificent 36-story residential skyscraper, features 439 units that are perfectly tailored to modern living. Studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments are featured in the tower, all of which offer attractive and efficient living spaces in a unique waterfront setting.

Commenting on the contract win, Mr. Yu Tao, President & CEO of CSCEC ME, said that “We are delighted to be leading the first phase of construction of the Peninsula development. We look forward to working with Select Group to bring this exceptional project to fruition.
