UAE-based BNW Developments has announced that it has officially signed up MAN Construction (a subsidiary of Middle East’s tier‑1 contracting company Masah) as the principal partner for Aqua Arc, its iconic waterfront project in Ras Al Khaimah.

Aqua Arc, nestled on the pristine coast of Al Marjan Island, is among BNW’s most anticipated ventures. With this AED1 billion ($272.2 million) deal, Aqua Arc marks the beginning of what promises to be a long‑term collaboration between the two powerhouse firms, with more landmark projects already in the pipeline, it stated.

“Partnering with BNW Developments for Aqua Arc is a proud milestone for Masah. We see this as a symbol of a shared vision to create landmark communities that reflect global standards and regional character. Aqua Arc, with its distinct architecture and scale, is exactly the kind of challenge Masah was built for,” remarked Mohammed Abdul Nayeem, the Chairman of Masah holdings and MAN constructions, at the signing ceremony.

A major player in the regional construction sector, Masah has delivered some of the GCC's most ambitious constructions, ranging from Ajdan Rise and Red Sea Global Terminal at the Red Sea International Airport to major healthcare assets like Sulaiman Al Habib Hospitals and Almoosa Specialist Hospitals.
