The construction of the Uptown Tower is underway in a new area of Dubai. The height is 340 m. The deadline for putting housing into operation is the 3rd quarter of 2022. The tower will have 79 floors and be the tallest building in the new area of the metropolis. It is located close to such popular communities as Jumeriah Lakes, Jumeriah Park, and Jumeriah Islands. The project will include not only residential but also commercial real estate.
Office spaces already have their owners. According to the developer, a fifth of the available space has been leased, although there are six months left before the building is put into operation. The work is taking place as scheduled. The glass facade is almost 90% complete.
According to Ahmed Bin Sulayem, DMCC Executive Director, the building will revive the neighborhood. The DMCC headquarters will also be located in the commercial areas of the skyscraper. The building will also include a hotel, branded residences, and restaurants.
Dubai is among the top three world skyscrapers in 2019. Nine buildings, over 200 meters high, have already been commissioned in the emirate. Developers are developing new projects.
