The Story in Short
Dubai developer Omniyat is to re-launch two stalled Dubai tower developments as new hotel-residential projects in order to boost revenue. One of the company’s rebranded towers, The Opus, was originally launched in 2008 as a 23-storey retail and commercial tower that was slated to be finished in 2010, but the project will now include a five-star, mixed-use hotel and apartment development.
The tower is to be designed by Iraqi-British architect Dame Zaha Hadid, her first hotel and apartment project, with the hotel set to debut the ME hotel brand, owned by Spain’s Melia hotels group, in the region.
The second project is also a reincarnation of a 2007 development, which originally comprised a 231-apartment, 24-storey tower in Business Bay, and will now become The Pad hotel and is due to be completed by mid-2015 as the first of a chain of proposed hotel properties.
