As a leading regional urban development contractor, Ali & Sons Contracting has been awarded the main construction contract to bring this next phase to life following the successful completion of the enabling works, DMCC said.

The new towers will exemplify a modern architectural design, with both structures built to LEED Gold standards. This ensures the highest levels of energy efficiency as well as the use of environmentally responsible materials and technologies, underscoring DMCC’s commitment to sustainable urban development in line with Dubai’s broader sustainability agenda.
Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, DMCC, said: “The next phase of Uptown Dubai marks a defining moment in the district’s evolution. With 62,000 sq m of premium Grade A office and retail space across two landmark towers, we are responding proactively to the growing demand from global businesses seeking a world-class destination in Dubai. Seamlessly connected by a new link bridge and elevated by exceptional F&B and retail offerings, this development will deliver an integrated, future-ready environment for work, leisure, and lifestyle. Our collaboration with Ali & Sons Contracting underscores DMCC’s unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainable urban development – setting a new benchmark not only for Dubai, but for the region as a whole.”
Ali & Sons Contracting will deliver the project using leading industry standards for health, safety and wellbeing, using technology and innovation such as drone surveying, off-site prefabrication and 3D planning software to achieve the highest quality construction.
