DMCC, the authority on trade, enterprise and commodities in Dubai, yesterday unveiled its conceptual master plan for the Burj2020 District, the new urban destination for the global business community, at the 2015 Cityscape Global Conference.
Set to be the commercial heart of south Dubai and the epicentre of business activity, the master planned Burj2020 District will be comprised of ultramodern towers within a multi-functional urban landscape. At over 1 million square metres, the Burj2020 District's built up area will be the equivalent size of approximately one-third of the existing JLT area and nearly twice the size of New York's Rockefeller Centre. In addition to premium commercial space, a world-class retail offering totalling over 100,000 square metres will serve a captive market in the DMCC Free Zone, JLT and the surrounding areas.
Ahmed bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman, DMCC, said, "Dubai's commitment to expanding economic growth and its strong track record in attracting global businesses, is continuously driving DMCC to deliver efficient premium marketplaces for the leading businesses of today and tomorrow.
"The Burj2020 District is central to this strategy and will deliver the ideal balance of world-class commercial, retail, hospitality and residential space, all set within a thriving urban landscape at Dubai's southern gateway. The Burj2020 will join the elite group of the world's most unique super tall commercial towers and complement the Dubai skyline with its striking design by Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill."
The conceptual model of the Burj2020 District master plan was revealed by Ahmed bin Sulayem, and Gautam Sashittal, Chief Executive Officer, with world-renowned tall tower architects, Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill, trading as AS+GG. Adrian and Gordon, the architects of the centrepiece of the Burj2020 District, the super tall Burj2020, were also the architects for the Kingdom Tower in Saudi Arabia, amongst other global landmarks.
The Burj2020 District will be integrated with the DMCC Free Zone in the JLT, with its 66 towers, and the current and planned developments in Dubai which demonstrate the emirate's next phase of growth and its strong, resilient future
