Omagine has appointed Consolidated Contractors Company Oman (CCC) as the general contractor for its 300-acre residential and entertainment complex planned in Oman.

CCC, the local Omani subsidiary of Consolidated Contractors Group (CCG), will be responsible for all construction activities for the company's Omagine Project.
CCG is a worldwide organisation with $5 billion in revenue and employs approximately 125,000 people.
The announcement is the second in a series of major events anticipated in the next few weeks, culminating in the final step needed to begin construction -- the signing of a development agreement with the Government of Oman.
"With CCC, we have a contractor with a very strong reputation, a successful history of high-quality construction - on time and within budget - and a very active presence in Oman," said Frank J Drohan, president of Omagine and of its subsidiary Journey of Light (JOL), which is the majority owner of the project.
Omagine is an integration of cultural, heritage, educational, entertainment and residential components. Located on 1.2 million sq m of beachfront land facing the Gulf of Oman just west of Muscat, Omagine will house 3,300 residential housing units including luxury villas, townhouses and apartments in addition to 450 serviced apartments and 150 employee apartments. The project is expected to take between four to five years to complete.
