The unveiling of Habtoor Tower, the largest residential structure in the world with ultra-luxurious living amenities, was announced by Dubai's Al Habtoor Group.
The skyscraper will be constructed with cutting-edge, inventive, and selected construction methods, according to Al Habtoor Group, drawing on decades of knowledge gained from the Burj Al Arab, Terminals 1 and 3 of the Dubai International Airport, the Abu Dhabi Officers' Club, and numerous other projects.
“This tower is unique in every aspect and can be considered a learning curve for all contractors in the region. We have challenged engineers and architects to deliver what we do best in Dubai and the UAE; an architectural masterpiece," he mentioned.
Al Habtoor added: “As a direct effect of innovative construction techniques, a substantial saving in Co₂ emission has been achieved – less than 50 per cent of traditional buildings’ carbon emissions. Environmental experts are currently assessing our Habtoor Tower, aiming to achieve LEED Platinum Certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) from the highest authority in green building rating systems worldwide.
“I am very proud of this new project, and there is nowhere else in the world I would want to develop it. In these uncertain times globally, my faith in our country’s economic strength and resilience is unwavering and greater by the day.
“This new project fits our country’s vision to always be at the forefront of innovation, responsible development and preserving our world for the next generations”.
"Al Habtoor Group is in the final stages of selecting the main contractor for the project based on qualifications and experience, with bids received from industry giants from the UAE, China, India and Europe," he concluded.
