The local Dodsal has been awarded the estimated AED 650 million ($177 million) the infrastructure contract at Jumeirah Village South, also known as JV3. The 18-month contract involves the construction of about 50 kilometres of asphalt road, and the installation of a district cooling system, telecommunications network and water, sewerage, and irrigation pipes.

Located adjacent to Jumeirah Islands and between Emirates road, Al-Barsha road and Al-Khail road, the Jumeirah Village project will comprise at least 5,000 villas and a series of 20-30-storey towers divided into three sections. Turkey's Nurol Group has been awarded the infrastructure package at Jumeirah Village 1 (JV1) and the local Ghantoot Transport & General Contracting is working on the infrastructure for Jumeirah Village 2 (JV2).
