Dubai Industrial City (DI), a member of Tatweer, said construction work for four office buildings has commenced.
Dubai Industrial City is investing Dh200 million on the four buildings and work is expected to complete by 2010.
The new buildings will increase commercial space offered by the industrial township to eight buildings.
Four buildings that are currently operational at DI are fully leased out.
The floors of each building will be designed on raised levels to give tenants the freedom of re-planning their office layouts.
The buildings will also include a total of 416 parking slots, including 326 spot underground parking and 90 open-air parking bays.
It will also boast a food court servicing the four buildings, and a business centre equipped with state of the art technology and exhibition areas. Convenient banking services and a government service centre will provide further services to industrial entities based at the township.
DI is set up on 560m square feet of land, in an effort to expand the industrial sector in the UAE and create a one-stop facility for industry and related sectors such as logistics, assembly and warehousing, vocational training and labour residences.
With the new buildings, office space will increase by an additional 235,000 sq ft to meet the escalating demand for retail commercial area.
Rashed Al Ansari, Vice-President, Dubai Industrial City, said DI will offer uninterrupted office floors that will be leased to clients as per their individual requirement. The buildings will be equipped with 90-minute fire resistant doors to assure optimum safety measures across its facilities.
“These offices aims at extending comprehensive facilities to our industrial investors. Apart from building their factories across the six industrial zones, our clients will now have the ease to deliver holistic services through locating their administrative support system in the new offices located within the same premises,” added Al Ansari.
