UAE: Daikin has received an order worth over AED40m ($11m) from a leading private developer in the UAE.

The order placed by Azizi Developments, a leading private developer in the UAE, comprises 72 air-cooled chillers, over 10,000 fan coil units and 62 fresh air handling units. 

The units are scheduled for installation in over 35 of Azizi’s buildings in Riviera, Dubai’s new waterfront-lifestyle landmark in MBR City, for Creek Views, Azizi’s 634-unit modern luxury development in Dubai Healthcare City, as well as for Berton, the developer’s exceptionally well-connected residential development in the heart of Dubai’s new growth corridor, Al Furjan.
