The 60,000 square metre Sarooj Pars Complex will be built in the Kerman area in partnership with the Omans WJ Towell.
Simon Karam of SCC was quoted in a local newspaper saying that the Omani firm owns 50 per cent of the project although interest from other Omani investors could see the company reduce its share to make room for others.

The first phase is expected to take up to three years.
