DMCC, a leading international business district that drives the flow of global trade through Dubai, has appointed Ali & Sons Contracting Company to spearhead the second phase of Uptown Dubai’s transformative development.

As a leading regional urban development contractor, Ali & Sons Contracting has been awarded the main construction contract to bring this next phase to life following the successful completion of the enabling works, DMCC said.

Seamlessly connected to the iconic Uptown Tower by a new link bridge, the development will see two new state-of-the-art commercial towers offering a combined 62,000 sq m of Grade A commercial and retail space, delivering amenities and accessibility in line with DMCC’s dynamic urban destination.

The new towers will exemplify a modern architectural design, with both structures built to LEED Gold standards.

Meanwhile, DMCC has partnered with Ellington Properties, Dubai’s design-led boutique developer, to break ground on Mercer House, an upscale residential development anchoring Uptown Dubai’s status as a global lifestyle destination.

The mixed-use development will comprise two elegant towers rising 34 and 41 storeys, featuring a range of premium property types including studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments as well as luxurious penthouses.

Mercer House will offer a unique blend of lifestyle, wellness and community living, featuring a wide array of amenities, premium retail and F&B outlets, as well as an exclusive urban beach club with natural sand.
