860 million invested in the Dubai Healthcare City luxury hotel project

A luxury five-star hotel will be built in the heart of the city of Dubai by the region's leading healthcare, wellness, medical education and research facility, the Dubai Healthcare City.

http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/1/18901-Hotelback.jpg
The twin-tower hotel-apartment project will provide full amenities for visiting patients and families, Al Muntafiq

Announcing details of the project, Saeed Al Muntafiq, Chairman of Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC), stated that the premium hotel will be built at an estimated cost of AED 860 million and will be a twin-tower project with one of the towers being a five-star hotel and the other an apartment tower.

The development will open doors to visitors by September 2007. The hotel and apartments would be connected with glass air-conditioned tunnel to the 425 beds teaching hospital and the on-campus Harvard Medical School Dubai Center.

It will be located along the northeastern edge of the DHCC Phase 1 Development, which is located in Oud Metha area of Dubai behind Wafi City.

'The hotel and apartment complex will cater to the accommodation and hospitality needs of our patients and their families, those who would come to DHCC for check-up or for treatment with relatives, or for visiting doctors and faculty,' Al Muntafiq pointed out.

'Dubai Healthcare City is committed to total quality in all spheres of its activities. The luxury hotel will be no exception to that rule. We are creating the region's centre of excellence in medical, wellness and healthcare practices and we will ensure that all aspects of our work - including the twin-tower hotel project - reflect that,' the DHCC Chairman added.

Al Muntafiq said both the luxury 5-star hotel will house 439 rooms and the apartment tower would have 406 units. Two floors in the hotel will be dedicated to a medical centre equipped with special provisions for patients and nurse stations.

The hotel will host medical and pharmaceutical events and has banqueting halls, a business centre, conference rooms as well as restaurants, spas, two swimming pools and a rooftop fine dinning restaurant.

The short-term serviced apartments will cater for families and will have suites, 1, 2, and 3 bedrooms units. The complex will have parking for over 1,200 cars.

'The hotel will be enhanced by the double-height public spaces with a feature that would have the potential to be a lively space offering guests and nearby residential communities a warm and inviting place to visit,' added Al Muntafiq.

i wonder why DHCC needs a 5star hotel with 40F + 30F apts....

looks rather boring, like the crescent but less colourfull.

to me this complex looks american
in the usa you'll find many of such buildings

classic design i'd say

Cool day.

nice, very texan me thinks

could be a las vegas hotel & casino...

Well the only reason I can think of is that the apartments are for the employees workin there (if they don't have somewhere to live) and the hotel for the patient's guests and family. Other than that, I don't see why one would want to live in a healthcare city or stay in a hotel there, unless there are no places to stay in Dubai.

Looks great, exterior also kinda similar to onetwin towers complex in Cairo.

They would probably be able to offer guest stunning voews of Dubai Creek Park, which would increase their client base to include alot more guests than just DHCC related visitors. :cheers:

Looks very American as well, I agree.

if you read carefully you can see the complex is an excellent conference venue!

we have requests of many pharmaceutical companies which come to dubai for seminars, conferences, incentives, events, fairs,....
sometimes a group has about 500 people! or even more

for our company this hotel is a perfect addition! the developers clearly see a market, which is growing rapidly!

i don't know really how to explain the residential tower, but the location is quite good
doctors working in dhcc might be able to afford homes here easily!

another live-work environment which doesn't require commuting!!!

ok you convinced me.
agree with you, this live & work environment is really pushed forwards.

another thing
the grand hyatt, park hyatt, wafi city, dhcc, creek golf club, yacht club, rashid stadium, raffles hotel,...

all this is only max 5 minutes away

view over creek golf club by the way

very clever i'd say!

also the grand hyatt might be a very interesting residence. the hotel is only in the smallest part of the building
the three bigger towers are residences only and you have access to everything

will turn into a nice area here!!!

Yup, the residential building is PERFECT for students like me who may go to Harvard Dubai for postgraduate specialization in DHCC.

can you afford that? :eek:

actually I'm counting on a crash and the prices of rents falling in Dubai by the time I graduate from university and start postgraduate studies :D

great news guys~~

Yes, I am. :)

Anyway, that sounds interesting. When is the project slated for if Dubai is chosen for a global launch?

the DHCC 5* hotel is a Jumeirah hotel, i saw it mentioned on the model in DHCC office

interesting.

jum is really expanding these days. but reasonable to have an "city hotel"

D-King: we're providing an info-capture service for doctors (practitioners) that is practitioner-specific and complaint-specific :) i'd be happy to share more with you if you like, just PM-me. we're in talks with top VC here in b.hills so we may take this to the next level, which would specifically include Dubai as a key launchpoint for us!~~

i'm very excited about the company, especially given the opportunity to CONTRIBUTE to dubai's success with my company's presence there, and to potentially help in branding the DHCC--

strange
jumeirah told me they don't want to develop any further hotels in dubai

but dhcc and jumeirah belong to dubai holding
so, it could be possible

strange

the hotels at jumeriah beach residence wont be jumeriah though, so i dont think it matters that much.

jumeriah want to concentrate on being an operator, not an owner. so maybe the hotel will be owned by dubai holding an operated by them?

DHCC is not only for patients with illnesses, its "wellness" cluster includes spas and health clubs, so a 5* hotel in the vicinity can cater for people coming in for a relaxation holiday.

these 2 could be under c already

there are 2 cores coming up
about 5 floors tall now

apparently there is no other high-rise planned for this area, so it should be this one

what's with the 3rd one visible in the model?

was also wondering
maybe 3 towers were planned but they decided to only build 2

i passed by the site today and it's the correct location
so, i'm very sure this one is under c already

today

this must be the project
there is no other tower planned for dhcc

http://tinypic.com/k183us.jpg

:rofl:

now this looks really riddiculous :D
but construction quite far already.

why are those 3 towers?

these are only 2 towers
both have a double core

Nice....vey luxurius :okay:

31/01/2006

http://i1.tinypic.com/mw63xd.jpg

...I guess.

those arent 40F or 30F cores. the slip form has been removed and thats as high as they go Im afraid

^^ I suspected that as well, that's why I put "...I guess" on my previous post.

makes sense sa boy

still, this is pretty much the location of the healthcare city towers :dunno:

let's wait and see

Good news: Jumeirah will manage the hotel and appartments in DHCC!

In addition Jumeirah has been appointed to manage Jumeirah Al Khor, a prestigious hotel and apartment development which will be located in the heart of Dubai Healthcare City, overlooking Dubai Creek. The hotel tower will feature 439 well appointed luxury rooms and suites over 34 stories whilst the residential component of the project will feature 406 fully serviced apartments over 42 stories, which will be leased on a short to medium term basis. In addition, the hotel tower will feature four two dedicated floors of Special Care units, equipped with the latest medical equipment and fully serviced by highly qualified medical staff, which is a first for the region.

DP issues tenders, selects architect
CONSTRUCTION UAE
9 Jun 2006

Local real estate developer Dubai Properties (DP), part of Dubai Holding, has issued tenders for two major building projects in Dubai Health Care City (DHCC) and Business Bay, and has concluded an international design competition for another scheme at Business Bay.

At DHCC, companies have been invited to bid by 18 June for an estimated AED 860 million ($235 million) hotel tower project. The project involves the construction of a five-star hotel tower and one apartment tower with a total built-up area of 191,000 square metres. It will be situated along the northeastern edge of the DHCC phase 1 development, which is located in the Oud Metha area of Dubai behind Wafi City. It will be connected to the Harvard Medical School Dubai Centre by an air-conditioned tunnel. The hotel will have 439 rooms and the apartment tower will have 406 units. The hotel will host medical and pharmaceutical events and will have banqueting halls, a business centre and conference rooms. The complex will have parking for more than 1,200 cars.

The local Dutch Foundation is working on the foundations package. The UK’s RMJM is the consultant (MEED 3:3:06).

This is expected to open in Autumn this year according to a Jumeirah development guy. doubt it.

This picture was posted at the Dubai International Airport new terminal thread. You can see the towers at the very bottom of the image, just above "6-April-2008." Are they topped-out yet?

I am not 100% sure, but I believe this is Jumeirah Al Khor just left of center.

Work stops on Dubai Health Care City towers

Construction work has stopped on two mixed-use towers at Dubai Health Care City after the client, Tatweer, instructed the contractor to stop work.

The local Al-Basti & Muktha was awarded the estimated AED850m ($231m) contract to build the towers in 2007. The structural work on the two towers, which are about 45 and 35-storeys, is mostly complete.

UK-based RMJM is the consultant. US-based Morganti is the project manager.

The project is the latest to stall in Dubai. In early January local developer Meydan cancelled the $1.3bn contract to build a race course grandstand at Nad al-Sheba (MEED 6:1:09).

I agree with this person

Posted by: Anonymous Tuesday, 3 May 2011 4:26 PM[UAE] - Dubai
Please complete that eye sore of a construction site in Healthcare City! This is one of the first construction projects anyone sees when they cross Garhoud or Maktoum Bridge. Just complete the hotel already! What are you going to do, just leave it there half built?

R

p.s - i didnt wirte it. :P

^^ ha ha! That's a funny comment :tongue2:

Should this be changed to #ON HOLD? Probably just as well this has been mothballed as the business model was absurd. It will still look the same in 10 years' time: a melting choc-ice.
