Emaar Properties Awards Burj Dubai Tower Deal to Samsung
DUBAI - Emaar Properties yesterday announced that Samsung Corporation, the Korean group, has been appointed the main contractor for its Burj Dubai tower.
The concrete and steel tower is set to become the tallest structure in the world and will be the centerpiece of Emaar's prestigious Downtown Dubai development.
The Burj Dubai tower is part of the $8 billion 500-acre Downtown Dubai Development, which on completion will become the Middle East's finest urban development in terms of design and lifestyle.
The contract was awarded to Samsung following an 11-month bidding process that began earlier this year and involved tender bids from major global contractors. The excavating, piling work and raft foundation for this landmark has been completed and construction of the Tower from ground up will now be taken up by Samsung, a huge step forward in the progress of the building.
Chicago-based Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) designed the Tower and Turner Construction International is the project and construction manager. Samsung Corp has been involved in the construction of numerous high-rise structures around the world and Samsung Group, its parent company, is the Fortune ranked 14th largest company in the world.
Mohamed Ali Alabbar, Chairman of Emaar Properties, said, “Samsung's appointment is a defining moment and the Tower is set to rise and change the face of Dubai. The Tower represents the next stage of growth for Emaar and will be the basis for future developments and act as signpost for the ambitions of the region.”
The Tower will combine residential and commercial space, and will include a boutique hotel, recreational facilities, serviced residences, apartments and an observatory. Its unique mix of functional modernist surfaces and decorative form contains abstract references to regional and cultural influences. The Tower's base rises upward in a series of steps, providing a graceful transition as the structure ascends.
The Tower is composed of three elements arranged around a central core. As it rises from the flat desert base, each element is set back in an upward-spiralling helical pattern, decreasing the mass of the tower as it reaches toward the sky and thereby decreasing the wind effects.
