Construction of the 78-storey building in the Uptown Dubai district was awarded after an international tender process. The decision was announced by developer DMCC, a Dubai government authority.
Uptown Tower has been designed by Adrian Smith & Gordon Gill Architecture. It is described as replicating the brilliance of diamonds through its faceted glass façade designed to illuminate the interior spaces with natural light while filtering out harsh glare.
It is one of two ‘super-tall’ towers designed by Adrian Smith & Gordon Gill for the Uptown Dubai district in the Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) area. The new district will include more than 10 million sq ft of commercial and residential space, over 200 retail and food and beverage outlets, approximately 3,000 residence, and a number of luxury hotels. It will be anchored by the two super-tall towers which will house luxury hotel rooms and suites, restaurants, health spas, conference facilities, offices and residences.
