Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) broke ground on the second phase of Dubai Trade Centre District (DTCD) worth AED720m. The first phase of the development was completed on time, last November. Phase one included an eight storey office building and a 588-room Ibis Hotel.
Contractor Al Futtaim Carillion, responsible for phase one, attained a safety record of 5.6 million man hours of Zero Loss Time Incidents (Zero LTI).
The same contractors have been chosen to construct the second phase. The phase comprises two Grade A office properties of eight and 12 storeys designed by Hopkins Architects and WSP.
Gurjit Singh, SVP of Real Estate at DWTC said: “Phase one has successfully attracted blue chip commercial tenants to our Grade A, single ownership, large floor plate, office space. This demand is expected to continue in phase two.”
