Two more developments have been announced within the Dubailand project, pushing the multi-billion-dollar development closer to completion.

Construction work is to commence soon on Al Barakah Investments’ Dh1.3-billion ($353 million) Sanali Towers, which is set to come up at Dubailand’s Majan-Mizin. Developed by Indian developer, Sanali Holdings, the project has been bought by Al Barakah Investments and will be marketed by Inside Track Real Estate Brokers.
Set for completion by December 2009, each of the towers of the three-tower development will comprise retail spaces on the ground and mezzanine floors plus 28 floors of office spaces with health club facilities on the 29th floor.
The modern offices with state-of-the-art facilities will have a spacious four-tier underground carpark.
In a separate development, Galadari Investment Office (GIO), the dedicated real-estate division of Galvest, has broken ground on its signature project G Tower, the first branded residential tower in the region.
Located in the 20 million sq ft City of Arabia project, which forms the heart of Dubailand, G Tower will epitomise revolutionary architectural and interior design, says a spokesman for the developer.
The 45-storey tower set for completion by 2010, has been designed by international architectural icon Alex Vacha and consultants P&T Group – whose projects include the entire City of Arabia masterplan and 90 per cent of the skyscrapers in Hong Kong – with interiors designed by multi-design award winner Philippe Starck and his company YOO.
According to contractor Belhasa Engineering, G Tower is on track for completion in 2010.
G Tower will rise to 280 m with a usable gross floor area (GFA) of 640,698 sq ft housing modern facilities such as communal sky decks, swimming pools, gym, library and business centre.
