Skyscraper to be built in honour of Shaikh Zayed

Al Hekma Tower, which means The Wisdom Tower, will be sited near the first Interchange on Shaikh Zayed Road.

Dubai: Abu Dhabi-based developer Pearl Properties will develop a 61-storey tower to honour the memory of Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the late President of the UAE, a statement said.

Al Hekma Tower, which means The Wisdom Tower, will be sited near the first Interchange on Shaikh Zayed Road, and will display an image of the late ruler which will crown the top of the building at a height of 50 metres.

When completed in 2008, this will be the largest portrait of a single individual to be seen on any tower in the Middle East.

Pearl Properties is part of a group company owned by Shaikh Eisa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, son of Shaikh Zayed.

Saif Al Suwaidi, manager of Shaikh Issa's private office, said: "The vision behind this unique project is to honour Shaikh Zayed, a widely respected Arab and world statesman, for a lifetime of positive contributions, wisdom and determined efforts, the combination of which has played a vital role in the UAE's formation and economic success.

"Our late Highness's sphere of influence extended far beyond the Emirates. As a direct result of his drive and determination, the region has also developed into a global business, leisure and economic hub of note.

"The name of the building was personally chosen by Shaikh Issa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan as Wisdom Tower in recognition of the principal characteristic of our late President and Ruler's intelligence and good judgment, something that was the key to unlocking many of his greatest ambitions for the Arab world."

Pearl properties is expected to announce a number of other major projects that will span all seven emirates.

Al Hekma Tower is the second project under construction by Pearl Properties, which was established in 2005. Pearl's first major development project, launched last November, is the Dh10 billion Palisades.
