BNW Developments has confirmed a new construction partnership with China Railway No. 4 Engineering Group Co. Ltd. (CREC4) worth an estimated AED 1 billion. The deal aims to speed up the building of several major luxury projects in the United Arab Emirates.

CREC4 is a subsidiary of the Fortune 500 company China Railway Group Limited and brings experience from over 30 countries to the partnership. BNW Developments currently manages a massive portfolio with a total value exceeding AED 32 billion. The firm is known for complex projects such as Aqua Arc and the Tonino Lamborghini Residences in Ras Al Khaimah.

“BNW is firmly in an execution-driven phase, with a singular focus on disciplined, on-time delivery to international benchmarks. Every contractor we appoint is selected through rigorous diligence, as execution ultimately defines legacy,” said Ankur Aggarwal, who is the Chairman and Founder of BNW Developments. “China Railway Group Limited brings deep engineering capabilities, robust governance systems, and a proven international track record, including experience in the UAE. This partnership represents one of several global construction alliances we are activating to support our next phase of growth with speed, quality, and credibility.”

The developer has already finished initial enabling and piling works on many of its sites. By bringing in CREC4, the company plans to use advanced building methods to finish these waterfront destinations. The partnership is part of a wider strategy to work with international contractors who have a history of finishing large-scale infrastructure and residential projects on time.

“At BNW, quality is non-negotiable. We consciously collaborate with globally recognised contractors whose track records demonstrate engineering integrity, delivery discipline, and adherence to international standards,” added Dr. Vivek Anand Oberoi, the Managing Director and Co-Founder of BNW Developments. “CREC4’s execution capabilities and global standing align closely with our vision of developing enduring, design-led projects. This partnership is founded on shared values, rigorous standards, and a common commitment to excellence in both design and construction.”

Gang Li, the General Manager for CREC4 in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, stated that his team would apply global project management skills to these luxury sites. “This partnership enables CREC4 to apply our global project management expertise and advanced construction methodologies to BNW’s luxury developments. We are committed to supporting BNW’s vision by ensuring efficient implementation, rigorous quality control, and adherence to international standards, delivering projects that meet the expectations of investors and end-users alike,” he said.
