Construction of the AED 1.8 billion Emirates Park Towers development, a 1612 room twin-tower hotel and apartment property has reached a major milestone.
To celebrate the continued progress of the construction programme, the development team hosted a ‘topping out’ ceremony to mark the casting of the final rooftop concrete.
Emirates Airline and Group will be ready to hand over the South Tower to Marriott International, in May 2011. The adjoining North Tower will be handed over in 2013.
Commenting on the progress of the development, Ali Mubarak Al Soori, executive vice president, chairman's office, facilities/projects management and P&L (NA) at Emirates, said: “Emirates Park Towers will be an iconic and dramatic addition to the ever-changing skyline of this exciting city.
“The construction process has followed the very highest international standards and specifications. Despite the challenges the real estate sector faces following the recent global financial crisis, there will always be a demand for the very best quality space, in the best buildings in the best locations,” he added.

Once completed, the twin towers will stand 365 metres tall, making them among the tallest single use hotel and residential apartment buildings in the world.
Built on Sheikh Zayed Road, Marriott will operate one of its top-of-the-line JW Marriott Marquis luxury hotels on site, offering some of the largest guest rooms available in Dubai.
Facilities in the new hotel will include 18 food and beverage outlets, business centre, conference halls and meeting rooms, a banquet hall, a 3700m² spa and health club as well as retail outlets, a swimming pool and a gymnasium.
