Al Habtoor Construction has been awarded the piling contract for Emirates Financial Towers (EFT).
The venture based in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is one of many prestigious projects being constructed in Dubai’s future financial hub.
Investor interest in EFT has been enthusiastic since its development plans were unveiled last year. EFT is intended to be a multi-use development that promises to offer Grade-A office space with a state-of-the-art and innovative design.
Coalescing premier commercial and residential space, the architects of the stylish EFT structure have presented a unique design that features a distinctive elliptical profile with an embedded transparent sky bridge, allowing it to be particularly conspicuous on the Dubai skyline.
“There has already been a huge demand for space within it,” EFT chief executive officer Mazhar Ul Haq says. “The unique architectural design of the helps to exemplify what DIFC is about. This building is a symbol of the bold progress occurring in this part of the Middle East.”
The project expected to be completed by the end of 2008, he adds.
EFT recently signed an agreement with Projacs International Company to become its project management company.
