Azizi Developments, one of the leading private developers in the UAE, has announced that its most ambitious project till date — a commercial and residential tower that will add to Dubai’s iconic skyline — will commence construction in the third quarter of 2018. The 122-storey building will stand at approximately 570m tall on Sheikh Zayed Road and will be among the biggest skyscrapers in Dubai and the world.
Azizi Developments is consulting with Atkins, the world’s leading engineering, design and project management company that helped design the Dubai Metro, Five Jumeirah Village, and Burj Al Arab, to finalise the design of the iconic building. Atkins has refined and updated the original design based on recommendations by Azizi Developments — and construction is expected to commence in the next few months with the mega project scheduled for completion between 2021 and 2022.
The tower is being developed at a cost of AED3bn and will house residential apartments on the first 100 floors and a luxury hotel on the remaining 22 floors.
