Schön Properties has awarded a lucrative contract to United Engineering Construction (UNEC). The AED400 million-deal is for the construction work on Schön Business Park, the project that will provide much needed flexible commercial spaces for start-up businesses or multinational companies relocating to Dubai.

We are excited to be working with Schön and are determined to provide the same superior services we have extended to all our clients,” said Eng. Abdul Haleem Muwahid, Managing Director at UNEC.
