Sheikh Mohammed also said that these projects represent the next phase of strategic development of infrastructure that is required for the UAE to meet its growth aspirations. He said these projects are helping the country cement its position as a destination of choice for global investment.
His Highness said that the UAE is continuing its drive to enhance the environment for businesses and the private sector by providing innovative solutions for investors’ needs, and create a platform in the UAE for businesses to access major emerging markets that together have a population of over 2 billion people.
Sheikh Mohammed made these remarks at the launch of the AED5 billion Emirates Towers Business Park project. His Highness was accompanied by Deputy Ruler of Dubai and President of Dubai International Financial Centre H.H. Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
The launch was held in the presence of President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and CEO and Chairman of the Emirates Group H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum; H.H. Sheikh Mansour bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum; and Director-General of the Department of Protocol and Hospitality in Dubai Khalifa Saeed Suleiman and a number of senior officials of Dubai Holding.
Chairman of Dubai Holding Abdulla Ahmed Al Habbai briefed His Highness about the development and various components of the project.
Masterplanned by Dubai Holding, the development is located between Sheikh Zayed Road and Happiness Street; in close proximity to Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the leading financial hub for the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) region. Upon completion, Emirates Towers Business Park will become an integrated business district in the heart of Dubai’s financial district and will provide a legislative environment with international standards of governance and transparency under the regulations of the DIFC Authority.
The development is the result of mutual collaboration between Dubai Holding and DIFC in response to the increasing demand from international corporations looking to set base in Dubai’s thriving business environment. The emirate’s strategic location and advanced infrastructure presents the ideal choice for companies looking to strengthen their presence in the region and expand their reach.
Emirates Towers Business Park will meet the increasing demand for Grade A office space through hi- and low-rise office towers catering to a range of requirements. The development will include three five-star hotels. Jumeirah Group will manage one, while the other two will be managed by leading international hospitality groups. The development will also offer retail space with a range of international brands and F&B options, a dedicated arena for events and ancillary facilities to support corporates. The development will be interspersed with public parks, green space and will include two covered pedestrian bridges connecting to the DIFC.
To ensure ease of access across the development, Emirates Towers Business Park will be supported through a three-level basement with one level dedicated to traffic management, while the other two will provide 13,000 new parking spaces. More info
