Alright, real estate enthusiasts, skyline dreamers, and lovers of all things glossy and grand—get ready to meet the newest power duo in town. And no, we’re not talking about Batman and Robin or even Beyoncé and the Renaissance tour. We’re talking bricks, billion-dirham visions, and a whole lot of beachfront brilliance.
BNW Developments—the name that’s become synonymous with ambitious architecture and serious swagger—just dropped the mic by signing MAN Construction (yep, that MAN, from the Masah Group) as the official construction partner for Aqua Arc, its show-stopping waterfront masterpiece on Al Marjan Island. Cue the confetti and the sound of champagne corks popping across Ras Al Khaimah.
When Titans Shake Hands
Imagine this: on one side, BNW Developments, the region’s fastest-growing private developer with a portfolio so big it probably needs its own passport. On the other, MAN Construction—a certified heavy-hitter in the world of mega-builds, marine marvels, and aviation feats. When these two shake hands, you don’t just get a contract. You get a blueprint for the future.
The signing wasn’t your average boardroom borefest. Nope. It was a who’s-who of regional leadership, with the likes of Mohammed Abdul Nayeem, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Sulaiman Alhabib, Althaf Kazi, and Mirza Naseem Beg all present. And yes, Bollywood fans, Vivek Anand Oberoi—actor, entrepreneur, and BNW’s Managing Director—was in the house too, looking every bit the mogul-in-the-making.
“Partnering with BNW Developments for Aqua Arc is a proud milestone for Masah. We see this as a symbol of a shared vision to create landmark communities that reflect global standards and regional character. Aqua Arc, with its distinct architecture and scale, is exactly the kind of challenge Masah was built for.”
Mohammed Abdul Nayeem, Chairman of Masah holdings and MAN constructions.
Masah isn’t just a contractor, they’re craftsmen of scale. What sets them apart is their consistency in delivering landmark projects that marry innovation with precision. Aqua Arc is an example of BNW’s unwavering intent to reshape Ras Al Khaimah’s skyline with substance and soul. For us, every partnership is about shared values. Masah’s professionalism, structural command, and transparent process align seamlessly with our own ethos of trust, ambition, and long-term value creation,” added Mr. Vivek Anand Oberoi, Managing Director & Co-Founder, BNW Developments.
Aqua Arc: Not Just a Building, a Bold Statement
Now, let’s talk about Aqua Arc—because this isn’t your typical glass-and-steel structure. This is a love letter to luxury. Think sweeping sea views, avant-garde design, and an address that screams, “I’ve made it.”
With MAN Construction on board, BNW’s vision for Aqua Arc just got a serious muscle upgrade. You see, MAN isn’t just a construction firm. They’re like the Swiss watchmakers of infrastructure. Whether it’s world-class hospitals, marine terminals, or iconic high-rises, their resume is basically a Greatest Hits album of the GCC’s most complex builds.
Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib: The Legacy Behind the Leadership
Let’s also give a respectful nod to Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib, the visionary whose influence has shaped sectors far beyond healthcare. His legacy of excellence has built more than hospitals—it’s built a reputation that now powers companies like Masah and MAN to deliver magic across industries. His son, Sheikh Mohammed, is clearly carrying the torch with equal flair, bridging global partnerships like a boss.
And the Award Goes To… Impact
Mohammed Abdul Nayeem, the brain behind Masah’s mega-leap into the big leagues, was recently listed in Construction Week Middle East’s Power 150. Why? Because he’s got that rare ability to fuse ambition with actual delivery—no fluff, just finish lines. Under his leadership, Masah has ticked off everything from luxury resorts to airport terminals. Basically, if it’s tough to build, they’ve already done it—and added a rooftop helipad for good measure.
Not Just a Partnership—A Blueprint for the Future
According to BNW Founder Ankur Aggarwal, this partnership is all about executional brilliance. ““At BNW, we’ve always believed that design vision means little without executional brilliance. The appointment of Masah is a critical step in our mission to deliver not just residences, but reference points in global luxury living. Masah’s track record in constructing technically demanding projects, their commitment to timelines, and their engineering depth made them a natural fit. Aqua Arc is a signature BNW development, it demands nothing short of mastery, and with Masah, we’re confident that’s exactly what we’ll achieve,”” he says. And MAN? Well, they’re the kind of hands you trust with your billion-dirham baby.
Vivek Oberoi summed it up like a true storyteller: “Masah isn’t just a contractor. They’re craftsmen of scale.” We couldn’t have said it better. This isn’t just about building walls—it’s about shaping skylines, telling stories, and creating spaces that live and breathe character.
Next Stop: Saudi?
Here’s the scoop—this is just the beginning. With Aqua Arc as the flagship, BNW and Masah are setting the stage for a series of high-impact projects. And if you were wondering where BNW is heading next, let’s just say the Kingdom is calling. Word has it, Saudi Arabia is on the cards for 2026. Riyadh, get ready.
So, what do you get when you mix deep pockets, deeper vision, and construction excellence that borders on art? You get Aqua Arc. You get BNW x MAN. And you get the sense that Ras Al Khaimah’s waterfront is about to go from ‘wow’ to ‘whoa’.
Luxury has a new latitude—and trust us, you’ll want to drop a pin.
