Local developer Emaar Properties has confirmed it has awarded an AED844m ($230m) contract to build the Hills development in Dubai to a team of Athens-based Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) and the local Al-Ghandi.

It is understood the project involves building a common podium with six towers. Four will be residential towers and the other two will be serviced apartments and hotels managed by the developer’s subsidiary, Vida Hotels.

The consortium of CCC and Al-Ghandi is also the contractor for the raft foundation, while the local Dar is the design consultant for the scheme.

The project is located off Sheikh Zayed Road overlooking Emirates Golf Club, close to Emaar Business Park, Dubai Media City and Dubai Marina.
