Home / Omnium Projects / DMCC Uptown Tower, Dubai, UAE
A focal point of the DMCC Jumeirah Lake Towers Free Zone commercial and trading hub, and the first completed building in the Uptown Dubai District, Uptown Tower’s 81-storey mixed-use structure is home to Grade A office space which includes DMCC’s new headquarters, a 188-key, 5-star luxury SO/Uptown Dubai-branded hotel, exclusive restaurants, and 229 first-class SO/ branded residences. Designed by Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, Uptown Tower’s stunning façade is inspired by the facets of diamonds as a nod to the successful trade of precious gems in the Free Zone. Sustainability is at the forefront of the building’s design. Achieving LEED Gold status, Uptown Tower’s sustainability features include electric vehicle charging points, reduced energy usage and costs, water conservation strategies and intelligent planting schemes to create shade.
