A high profile project taken on by the US subsidiary is a $1.2 billion, 94-acre wholesale merchandise mart in Osceola County in Central Florida. The project was approved in 2012 and is expected to begin construction in 2014. When completed, it will include a 500-room hotel, 1.5 million square feet of wholesale space, and 728 homes. An excited county commissioner referred to it as a “magnet for jobs”.
In October 2013, it was announced Beijing Construction Engineering Group will be part of a group investing £800m in Manchester Airport in England to develop its surrounding business. The news was announced by the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, on a trip to China to promote UK business and encourage Chinese investors to consider the UK.
