After a six months period of prequalification and tendering, the Committee Valencia 2007awarded in July the first project to the Spanish building firm Cyes (with a Euro 5,1 budget) and work begun immediatly at the future America's Cup Village.

These works, which consist of the re-structuring of 230 metres of dock length, include all the necessary facilities for the hosting of the America's Cup pre-regattas.

The work also includes the building of a pile-based platform and the infrastructure for the installation of two 50-tonne travel lifts.

If the committee has cancelled the tender procedure for the canal connecting the port directly to the sea, seven others tenders/contracts were now awarded and work will start very soon.

The big question is now whether all the projects will be completed in time for Acts 2 and 3, which are scheduled to be held in October.
