Dubai Pearl Inc awards AED498 million contract to DCC for construction of two office towers

Dubai Pearl Inc announced today that it has signed a AED498 million (USD136 million) agreement with Dubai Contracting Company (DCC) to build the Omnix North and Omnix South Office Towers of Dubai Pearl.

Jamal Abu Issa, President of Dubai Pearl Inc, and Abdallah Yabroudi, Chairman of DCC, signed the agreement.

Scheduled for completion by mid-2008, the 55-storey office towers will be a key feature of the AED5.8 billion (US$1.6 billion) Dubai Pearl - a 10 million square foot 'self-contained community' that will take shape overlooking the base of The Palm Jumeirah. The office towers will rise to around 208 metres and establish Dubai Pearl as a prestigious business, residential and leisure destination in the GCC.

Describing the contract as a major step forward for the project, Abu Issa said: 'Dubai Pearl will incorporate the most sophisticated design technologies to offer a world-class office environment. It is important that we partner with the right contractors such as DCC who understand our requirements and can help us achieve our ambitious goals.'

'This contract win is a vote of confidence in DCC,' explained DCC Chairman Abdallah Yabroudi. 'Our association with this prestigious project underlines our leadership in the region's real estate industry.'

The total area of both office buildings exceeds 1.7million leasable square feet. The towers will take 23 months to finish and groundbreaking by Swissboring starts this month.

Overlooking The Palm Jumeirah and adjacent to the Dubai Media and Internet Cities and Knowledge Village, Dubai Pearl will be a novel mix of residential, commercial, retail and leisure developments designed to reflect Dubai's multicultural character.

Dubai Pearl will feature four deluxe hotels, three residential buildings, two office towers, a comprehensive retail space, an exhibition area for IT shows and conferences, an art gallery, and the 1,800-seat Royal Hall theatre.

Piling has yet to start for those 2 though.

Krazy · June 19th, 2006, 04:25 PM

i wish they'd stuck to the original plans.. i hate the new box type designs

***AltinD*** · June 19th, 2006, 05:01 PM

Agreed!!!

The new designs and the road ring around them, cheappened what would have been one of the most iconic projects in Dubai.

dubaiflo · June 19th, 2006, 05:46 PM

totally agree.

indeed true, now with this massive interchange, and the new, cheaper, and obviously easier to build designs it will be just an average Media City project actually.

Krazy · June 20th, 2006, 03:21 AM

dubaiflo · June 20th, 2006, 06:32 PM

should still look nice.

Naz UK · June 23rd, 2006, 02:14 PM

I find this one a bit weird...coz there's no symmetry in the circle. Seems likes a bunch or randomly placed towers in a circle to me. And also, seen as though no one seems to like nor want the Millennium Dome in London, would have been cheaper to dismantle it and ship it over piece by piece and use it as the Opera House in DP!!! Just a thought!

DCC wins Dubai Pearl tower contract
CONSTRUCTION UAE
23 Jun 2006

The local Dubai Contracting Company (DCC) has been awarded a AED 498 million ($136 million) contract to design and build two 55-storey towers at the Dubai Pearl development.

The 23-month contract covers the construction of two 208 metre-high office towers, known as Omnix North and Omnix South Office Towers, which together will offer about 160,000 square metres of over leasable area. Swissboring, part of Italy’s Trevi Group, is expected to begin work on the foundations package by the end of June.

Dubai Pearl Incorporated, part of Qatar’s Omnix International, is the client.
