Bloomberg reported that Leighton Holdings Limited, Australia's largest construction company, said that its Middle East venture won an AED 2.25 billion order to build five tower blocks in Abu Dhabi.
Al Habtoor Leighton Group in a statement to the Australian stock exchange said that it will build the 17 storey blocks, which will include a four star, 385 room business hotel, offices, serviced and residential apartments, for the Al Hamid Group.
It said that work on the Al Bustan complex is expected to be completed by October 2010. The order comes less than two weeks after Leighton won a bid to build two apartment towers in Dubai in a contract valued at EUR 128 million.
The Al Habtoor Leighton Group was established in September 2007 following the merger of Al Habtoor Engineering with the Arabian Gulf operations of Leighton International.
