China State Construction Engineering Corporation

The CSCEC was founded in 1957 as a state company. Early on the country had an international profile building heavy industry and infrastructure in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The predecessor company opened its first overseas office in Kuwait in the late 1970s. The company broke from its regionally confined work pattern when it entered the U.S. market in 1985, opening an office in Atlanta. The U.S. subsidiary began by building housing developments with joint venture partners before undertaking its first sole development, Lantana Lakes, a 107 acre, $27 million complex of 42 homes, in 1987 in Jacksonville, Florida.

With the encouragement of the Chinese government and financing assistance from the Export-Import Bank of China, CSCEC has taken increasingly bold steps as a builder and investor of overseas projects. In 2011, the going abroad trend hit a new high when Bahamas Resorts, a $3.4 billion casino and resort built and partially owned by CSCEC, opened after “extremely aggressive” efforts by the company to link with the Bahamas developer that started the project.
