DUBAI 25 July 2017: Dubai Holding has announced that its arm, Tecom Group, will develop Dubai’s latest multi-billion dirham Emirates Towers Business Park.
It also announced the appointment of Fareed Al Janahi as Chief Executive Officer of the project.
Tecom Group will develop and manage the project that is located in close proximity to Emirates Towers, in collaboration with DIFC, which will provide a legislative environment with international standards of governance and transparency. The new business hub will offer a wide range of office space for international companies looking to move or expand their business in the region. The business park will also include three luxury five-star hotels, retail areas featuring a range of international brands and F&B options, a dedicated arena for events and ancillary facilities to support corporates.
Dr Amina Al Rustamani, Chief Executive Officer of Tecom Group, said: “The launch of the project comes at an opportunistic time when the real estate market in Dubai is witnessing a clear growth in demand for premium commercial and office space. Reports indicate that this growth will continue to increase in the following years. Premium commercial space accounts for 20% of the total business space currently available in Dubai, with an occupancy rate of 92%. The growing demand for distinguished business space is evidence that Dubai remains a preferred destination for key international and regional companies, given the Emirate’s strategic location and business-friendly environment.”
She continued: “We are committed to providing the best quality service in supporting Dubai as a vibrant destination for business and investment. We will be sure to harness our expertise and high-calibre of leaders to develop and manage Emirates Towers Business Park in accordance to the highest standards of quality, to become one of the leading business platforms and destinations locally and internationally, alike.”
