BNW Developments has officially signed MAN Construction (a subsidiary of the Masah Group) as the principal construction partner for Aqua Arc, its iconic waterfront project set to redefine ultra‑luxury living in Ras Al Khaimah.
Aqua Arc marks the beginning of what promises to be a long‑term collaboration between the two powerhouse firms, with more landmark projects already in the pipeline.
This collaboration brings together two industry titans: BNW and MAN Construction/Masah. The signing ceremony witnessed the presence of distinguished leadership from both sides, underscoring the strategic weight of the alliance.
Founded on values of technical integrity and delivery at scale, Masah has delivered some of the GCC’s most ambitious constructions, from Ajdan Rise to major healthcare assets like Sulaiman Al Habib Hospitals and Almoosa Specialist Hospitals. Their excellence extends to award-winning marine and aviation infrastructure, including the Red Sea Global Terminal at the Red Sea International Airport.
At the heart of this powerhouse lies Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib, one of the most influential figures in the region’s healthcare and infrastructure ecosystem. His vision, discipline, and expansive legacy have set unmatched standards for quality across industries. His son, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Sulaiman Alhabib, continues to carry that mantle forward, playing a key role in bridging prominent international partnerships.
The group’s Chairman, Mohammed Abdul Nayeem, was recently named among the top 25 in Construction Week Middle East’s Power 150 list, with MAN Construction being recognised as a Tier 1 Contracting Company. His leadership has consistently aligned innovation with impact, earning the group accolades across healthcare, hospitality, residential and aviation sectors.
“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.”

Aqua Arc, nestled on the pristine coast of Al Marjan Island, is among BNW’s most anticipated ventures, an architectural ode to elegance, functionality and sea-facing serenity. With MAN onboard, the execution enters a new realm of confidence and capability.
“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.”
Ankur Aggarwal, Chairman and Founder, BNW Developments
As the largest private developer in Ras Al Khaimah, BNW continues to lead with intent, scale and an investor-first focus. The collaboration with a group of Masah’s calibre, reinforced by the institutional credibility of the Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib legacy, marks a significant inflection point in BNW’s regional trajectory.
“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.”
