In fact, their excellence also extends to the Red Sea Global Terminal at the Red Sea International Airport, which has award-winning marine and aviation infrastructure.
The Group’s Chairman, who was recently featured in the Top 25 in Construction Week’s Middle East Power 150 list, is truly one of the most influential figures in the region.

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.”
Mr. Ankur Aggarwal, Chairman & Founder, BNW Developments, said, “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 Developments; it demands nothing short of mastery, and with Masah, we’re confident that’s exactly what we’ll achieve.”
The Partnership Strengthens BNW Developments’ Operational Depth
As the largest private developer in Ras Al Khaimah, BNW continues to lead with intent, scale, and an investor-first focus. Mr. Vivek Anand Oberoi also hinted at the brand’s imminent expansion into Saudi Arabia in 2026, marking the next frontier in its regional growth story!
“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
