Dubai-based firm Dutco Construction has won a AED1.5bn ($427m) contract from local real estate company Majid Al-Futtaim Development to construct 109 mansions in the Tilal Al-Ghaf community in Dubai.

The project, known as Serenity Mansions, was designed by the South African architectural firm Saota and Lebanon’s Nabil Gholam.

According to the official statement, Dutco’s scope of work comprises the construction of Serenity Mansions, including interior fitout, public realm landscaping, gatehouses, ancillary buildings and infrastructure works.

In January last year, Majid Al-Futtaim awarded two contracts worth AED3bn ($817m) to construct the Alaya and Elysian Mansions developments at its Tilal Al-Ghaf community.

The developer appointed the local Innovo Build for the contract to construct 94 five- and six-bedroom waterfront villas at Elysian Mansions.

The other contract was awarded to United Engineering Construction (Unec) for the construction of 130 villas across a 2 square-kilometre neighbourhood.

The 300-hectare Tilal Al-Ghaf project will be developed in phases over 10 years and will feature 6,500 freehold apartments, townhouses, bungalows and luxury villas upon completion in 2027.
