Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), which is under the Dubai government's administration, has appointed Emirati conglomerate Ali & Sons Contracting to manage the second phase of the Uptown Dubai project in the United Arab Emirates.
This follows the completion of the enabling works on the project.
The new phase, connected to the Uptown Tower via a link bridge, will feature two commercial towers offering a combined 62,000m² of Grade A commercial, food and beverage (F&B), and retail spaces.
The project will integrate with the Uptown Plaza, a public space with events scheduled for later in the year.
The forthcoming towers are designed with modern architectural principles and will be constructed to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold standards, ensuring energy efficiency and the use of eco-friendly materials and technologies.
Ali & Sons Contracting is set to employ leading industry standards for health, safety, and well-being throughout the project's construction, stated DMCC.
It plans to utilise innovative methods such as drone surveying, off-site prefabrication, and 3D planning software to ensure 'quality construction'.
DMCC executive chair and chief executive officer Ahmed Bin Sulayem said: “The next phase of Uptown Dubai marks a defining moment in the district’s evolution.
“With 62,000m² of premium Grade A office and retail space across two landmark towers, we are responding proactively to the growing demand from global businesses seeking a world-class destination in Dubai. Seamlessly connected by a new link bridge and elevated by exceptional F&B and retail offerings, this development will deliver an integrated, future-ready environment for work, leisure, and lifestyle.
“Our collaboration with Ali & Sons Contracting underscores DMCC’s unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainable urban development - setting a new benchmark not only for Dubai, but for the region as a whole.”
In January 2025, DMCC, in collaboration with REIT Development, announced the construction of the Crypto Tower in Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Dubai.
