Work commences on picturesque Oceano

A STRIKING waterfront landmark is set to take shape on the picturesque shores of Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah following the award of the main construction contract for the AED1.5-billion ($408.3 million) Oceano development.

Luxe Developers, a leading real estate firm in the UAE, has appointed China State Construction Engineering Corporation (Middle East) to take charge of the main construction works, completion and maintenance of the project, ensuring it meets the stringent standards of quality and sophistication expected by its ultra-high-net-worth clientele. The Beijing-headquartered China State Construction Engineering Corporation is claimed to be the largest construction company in the world by revenue.

All enabling works, including shoring, piling and excavation, have been completed by S S Lootah Foundations.

Slated for completion in 2026, Oceano offers a collection of 206 homes spread across 18 storeys, including a diverse range of residential options such as one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, six penthouses, and two exclusive sky villas.

Nestled in a unique corner plot on the shores of Al Marjan Island, the 79,000-sq-m Oceano epitomises architectural excellence, blending timeless sophistication, innovation, and respect for the cultural and historical essence of the stunning island, says the developer.

Siddharta Banerji, Managing Director and Co-owner of The Luxe Developers, comments: "At The Luxe Developers, we are dedicated to building unique homes that create extraordinary living experiences that inspire and elevate. Every project we undertake underscores our commitment and dedication to craftsmanship and attention to detail while pushing the boundaries of design. Our vision is to redefine the standards of exclusivity and transform spaces into architectural landmarks that stand the test of time."
