The nine-storey Lexus Tower at Deira City Centre is expected to be completed by June. The building will contain the 100,000 sq ft Toyota and Lexus showrooms and will house the corporate headquarters of the Majid Al Futtaim Group (MAF).

Work is also in progress on the centre's 11-screen 3,000-seater multiplex, a joint venture between MAF and Australia's Greater Union, which is to open by July this year. Arabtec is the main contractor for both these projects.

The current expansion of the City Centre will add around 300,000 sq ft of retail space to the project at an estimated cost of Dh300 million ($81.74 million).
