Al Habtoor Group has announced the completion of the piling phase of its flagship project, Al Habtoor Tower, at Al Habtoor City. The milestone accounts for 23 percent completion of the overall construction. Al Habtoor Tower is set to be one of the world’s largest and most innovative sustainable landmark residential building, reinforcing Dubai’s position in the global real estate market.
The development encompasses a built-up area of 3,517,313 square foot over 87 floors and the construction has notably advanced ahead of schedule. In record time, the Group has completed all infrastructure work and foundation work, in addition to a large area of the 7 podiums, equivalent to 50,000 square metres of construction work – a feat that traditionally would require at least two and a half years. Moroever, it aims at completing 35 floors by the end of 2024.
Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, Founding Chairman of Al Habtoor Group, said, “I am proud to announce this major milestone in the construction of the Al Habtoor Tower. As Al Habtoor Group, we always deliver on time, bringing together the best teams to work in unity towards delivering this project. Our commitment to the highest quality, delivered in the fastest time, remains our top priority.”
Al Habtoor continued, “What we have achieved is outstanding. Going forward, progress will be very visible to the untrained eye, with the plan to reach up to at least 35 floors by the end of this year.”
The project has adopted pioneering construction methods, including the use of the highest steel grade and highest concrete grade for the first time in the UAE, significantly reducing carbon emissions. The construction process also features a TOP & DOWN construction approach, saving a year in construction time and enabling the execution of 350,000 square metres of the built-up area in just 1,000 days. The tower is expected to be complete within a timeline of three years.
Al Habtoor Tower is located on the Dubai Water Canal and is in proximity to the Burj Khalifa and Dubai International Financial Centre.
