Dubai, UAE; 24 September 2014:
DMCC, the Government of Dubai Authority with a mandate
to enhance Dubai’s position as the global gateway for commodities trade
and enterprise, announced today that Turner has been appointed to
project manage the ‘Burj 2020 District’ Development.
Turner
won the tender that saw several global project management firms pitch
for the management of the commercial district set to be the next world
destination for large corporates.
Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman, DMCC, said:
“By
appointing experienced project managers such as Turner we are laying
strong foundations for delivering the ‘Burj 2020 District’ which will
further drive sustainable growth for Dubai.
“Turner
has a strong track-record in managing and delivering large complex
projects while at the same time embracing innovative ideas and new
technologies. Together we will create the optimal environment for trade
and enterprise with a world-class commercial district that brings
together retail, residential, business and lifestyle services.”
Turner
comes with a wealth of experience having delivered the current three
tallest towers in the world including the Burj Khalifa.
Ali Odeh, Chairman & CEO, Turner International Middle East, said:
“Opportunities
to work on world-class developments of this scale do not present
themselves often and we are honoured to be a part of DMCC’s ‘Burj
2020 District’ project. We are committed and ready to take the project
to the next level by offering our Project Management Services to the
Development of what will no doubt be a world class commercial district
of the future.”
The
appointment of Turner follows DMCC’s master plan design competition
announced in June 2014. The ground breaking for the ‘Burj 2020 District’
is planned for 2015.
The
‘Burj 2020 District’ is being constructed as a direct result of
customer demand in particular from large corporates and multi-business
entities
and will provide companies with a commercial property offering unique
to the Dubai marketplace. Benefits include single ownership, contiguous
Grade A commercial office space in the heart of Dubai, close to metro
stations, world-class cargo facilities, ports
and airports that connect to over 220 destinations including the new Al
Maktoum International Airport.
The
‘Burj 2020 District’ will also be home to the world’s tallest
commercial tower which was named ‘Burj 2020’ in November 2013 in honour
of Dubai’s
Expo 2020 win.
