China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) is building five skyscrapers in New Alamein under a contract signed yesterday with the New Urban Communities Authority (NUCA), according to a cabinet statement. NUCA will arrange financing for the buildings, which include a 250-meter 68-storey high-rise and four other, 200 meter-high tower blocks. CSCEC, the world’s largest construction outfit by revenue, will also build a mixed-use complex in the southern region of the new city and is separately working on the new capital’s business district.
