Dubai Customs is in the process of implementing a project for building a multi-floor parking on a total area of about 19,000 square metres that will have 620 parking.
There is also a possibility for adding a 100 extra vehicle spaces in an allocated area within the same building.
"This project aims to overcome the current congestion issue in the parking area designated for both the employees and clients. The new multi-floor parking will be exclusively used by the employees, leaving the existing one for clients," said Dubai Customs Director of Administration Affairs Department Mansoor Buosaiba.
He said under the guidance of Dubai Customs Director-General Ahmed Butti Ahmed, the department "is keen on creating a healthy work environment and increase both its employees and clients satisfaction. It also comes in line with the Dubai Customs' strategic vision of maintaining true partnership with the clients based on understanding their requirements and providing them with the best services."
"We understand the clients' recent complaints when they sometimes have a difficulty finding available parking spaces. At present, we are working on solving this issue through another parking project which is now in process to add 120 parking for clients, and 60 for employees in the two current parking spaces. This project, which will be completed during the second week of July 2009, will help in easing the congestion issue that resulted from the increasing number of clients, consignees and clearance agents who visit Dubai Customs daily," said Buosaiba.
He said the designs for the five-floor parking have been approved and a local real estate company will be chosen to start the initial stages of the project within the next few days.
An annex with the same height will be added to include extra offices, meeting rooms and training halls, said a statement from Dubai Customs. As for the current parking lots, they will be joined together, modernly redesigned, landscaped and will have extra service facilities for the clients, it said.
