The contractors that have been awarded the three contracts are Beijing-based China State Construction Engineering Corporation, the local Al-Naboodah Contracting Company, and the local Wade Adams Contracting.

China State has been awarded the estimated AED605m ($165m) Package 2, Al-Naboodah has been awarded the estimated AED600m Package 3, and Wade Adams has been awarded the estimated AED630m Package 4.
