Dubai's Emaar Properties has reportedly appointed Dutco Group to carry out restoration work for The Address Downtown.
Dutco, which is currently working on the nearby expansion of The Dubai Mall, is already on the hotel's site, and is expected to reopen the hotel "in record time".
According to Arabian Business, a clean-up operation is underway on site, as is a mechanical, electrical, and structural assessment of the building prior to restoration operations.
The report added Emaar is coordinating with government entities such as Dubai Police, Dubai Civil Defence, Dubai Municipality and Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, among others, to speed up work on the hotel, which caught fire on New Year's Eve.
