Dubai World Trade Centre has awarded Al Futtaim Carillion the main construction contract to deliver the phase 2 construction work on its Dubai Trade Centre District (DTCD).
The DTCD is an integrated mixed used real estate development comprising 535,000sqm of gross floor area, located between the current Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre and Jumeriah Emirates Towers, in the heart of the city's Central Business District.
The second phase comprises two Grade A office properties of eight and 12 storeys, designed by the firms of Hopkins Architects and WSP, with a total gross floor area of 94,000sqm. The contract, worth Dh721 million, has commenced and is scheduled for completion in Q3, 2017.
Located in one of the emirate's key business districts and adjacent to the landmark Dubai World Trade Centre complex, the strategically located DTCD will have access to the Dubai Metro and seamless connectivity with the existing integrated convention and exhibition facilities and amenities.
The DTCD development is being designed to best-in-class quality standards and has achieved Leed Gold pre-certification from the US Green Building Council.
At present, Al Futtaim Carillion is nearing completion of the first phase of the DTCD development, which comprises an eight storey office building and a 588 room business hotel operated by the Accor Group under the Ibis flag. This latest award takes the overall value of Al Futtaim Carillion's work at the DTCD development to around Dh1.2 billion.
"The addition of international standard Grade A office properties in the heart of Dubai's highly sought after business and commercial corridor, allows us to provide well appointed, high quality, flexible spaces, delivering a market driven commercial offering in Dubai's central business district," said Gurjit Singh, senior vice president of real estate, Dubai World Trade Centre.
