Amaal has appointed CITIC Middle East Contracting LLC as the main contractor for the AED 1.8 billion MANSORY Residences, a 60-storey ultra-luxury residential tower in Dubai's Meydan Horizon masterplan. The project, positioned as the world's first MANSORY-branded residential development, is scheduled for completion by late 2028. Backed by CITIC Construction Co. Ltd, the contractor will undertake full turnkey execution, including structural works, MEP systems, and integration of smart home and automotive-focused features. The development comes amid sustained demand for high-value, design-led residential assets in Dubai, supported by strong investor activity and rising transaction volumes in the emirate's property market. The partnership also reflects broader UAE-China economic ties, with increasing cross-border investment and construction collaboration.
Amaal, an Emirati-founded real estate developer, has appointed CITIC Middle East Contracting LLC as the main contractor for the AED 1.8 billion MANSORY Residences project in Dubai, with the announcement made in the past week as part of the project's execution phase within the Meydan Horizon masterplan. The 60-storey tower, positioned as the first residential development branded by MANSORY, is scheduled for completion by the final quarter of 2028, with the contractor responsible for delivering the project on a full turnkey basis.
Under the contract, CITIC Middle East Contracting will oversee structural construction, along with all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Its scope also includes the integration of advanced smart home technologies, VIP automotive facilities, and specialised carbon-fibre-inspired design elements aligned with the MANSORY brand identity. The contractor will coordinate closely with VX Studio and Opaal's design teams to ensure execution adheres to specified architectural and interior standards, while also managing quality assurance protocols and safety compliance throughout the development lifecycle.
The appointment draws on the capabilities of its parent entity, CITIC Construction Co. Ltd, which operates across multiple international markets including Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Latin America, and China. The firm has experience delivering large-scale infrastructure, residential, mixed-use, and industrial developments, supported by in-house engineering, procurement, and project management functions. This integrated model is expected to support delivery timelines and maintain construction standards for the project.
Amaal's chairman indicated that the selection of CITIC Middle East Contracting was based on its global experience in executing complex developments and its engineering and financial capabilities, adding that the collaboration aligned with the developer's objective of delivering design-focused residential projects with long-term value. The contractor's regional leadership also stated that the firm would apply its experience in large-scale urban developments to meet construction benchmarks relating to quality, safety, and sustainability.
From the developer's investment and partnership perspective, Ayana Holding's leadership conveyed that the contractor's involvement would support the delivery of a design-led ultra-luxury tower with a focus on craftsmanship and execution precision, reflecting expectations of both investors and future residents.
The project is being developed against a backdrop of continued growth in Dubai's residential market. During the first quarter of the year, property transactions reached approximately INR 4.0 trillion (Dh176.7 billion), marking a year-on-year increase of over 23%. Off-plan sales activity and pricing levels remained stable, particularly in premium segments, indicating sustained investor demand for high-value residential developments.
MANSORY Residences will comprise a mix of one- to four-bedroom apartments along with full-floor penthouses, supported by a range of high-end amenities. The architectural and interior design approach incorporates automotive-inspired elements, with sculptural fades and bespoke detailing forming a central part of the development's design language.
The project also aligns with strengthening economic relations between the UAE and China, where non-oil trade has exceeded USD 100 billion, supporting increased collaboration across sectors including construction and real estate. The contractor is expected to manage all phases of delivery, ensuring consistency in execution across the tower as it progresses towards completion.
