DMCC’s 340m Tall Uptown Tower Inches Closer To Completion

DMCC’s 340m Tall Uptown Tower Inches Closer To Completion

The façade of Dubai’s latest megaproject Uptown Tower which will be home to a state-of-the-art DMCC Headquarters has been fully installed.

A total of 8,542 glass panels were installed on the tall tower, which is the first of two supertall towers at DMCC’s Uptown Dubai District. Having started installation in August 2020, progress on the façade proceeded at pace following the completion of structural elements earlier this year. At peak installation, the team installed an entire floor of the building every two days, equating to 70 panels per day.

The process of conceptualising and installing Uptown Tower’s façade was completed by using innovative technologies such as 3D modelling and digital tracking systems by utilising an integrated design and manufacturing approach. By embracing innovative building practices, the project saw enhanced efficiencies that allowed the façade to be fabricated in line with project schedule requirements.
