At AKOYA Oxygen, the contracts cover the main construction of villas, as well as roads and infrastructure works.

Mohammed Tahaineh, Senior Vice President - Commercial, DAMAC Properties commented: “With the handover of 1,350 villas and apartments at AKOYA by DAMAC in the last quarter of 2016, as well as the upcoming opening of the Trump International Golf Club, Dubai during the first quarter of 2017, AKOYA by DAMAC is rapidly progressing and taking shape - on track to becoming a full-fledged community. We work with reputable contractors that have vast experience in their areas of specialisation, and strive to mitigate risks in project delivery by awarding various components of the development to a host of contractors.”

“The overall progress of the golf infrastructure work of AKOYA stands at 95%. Trump PRVT, scheduled for handover during Q1 2019, will mark the completion of the entire AKOYA by DAMAC master development.
