Arabian Construction Company (ACC) says construction work for the Dh410 million ($111.6 million) Rose Rotana Suites achieved a new milestone when the core wall reached a height of 264 m, making it the highest construction point of all ongoing projects in Dubai.

ACC general manager Hassan Auji says the accomplishment is by no means a small feat, noting that the firm has had to deal with major logistical issues because ACC was building in between two existing structures.
Auji says Rose Tower located on Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road is the latest landmark to complement ACC’s portfolio. Once completed, the tower will stand 333 m in height making its 72nd and last floor the highest living floor in the Middle East and the tallest hotel/furnished apartment building in the world.
“Construction work on the Rose Rotana Suites Tower has proceeded without interruption from the moment we laid the foundations. The crane has reached a height of 270 m, and if you look at Dubai from a perspective, no other crane in any other property development stands higher,” he explains. “At ACC, we have built a sterling reputation for excellent project management, hence we have an exceptional track record for completing projects on time.”
ACC expects to complete the Rose Rotana Suites project by the end of the year.
“We began at an outstanding pace, finishing one floor every five days since last summer. We increased the pace beginning this year, by which time we were completing one floor every three days. We anticipate completing the works a few months before schedule,” says Auji.
The project consists of 482 units divided into 434 furnished studios and 48 suites located between the 54th and 65th floor and will offer the guests a privileged unobstructed 360-degree view of the Dubai skyline.
The project will be managed and operated by international hotel operator Rotana and is intended to service the business traveler targeting the adjacent Dubai International Financial Center and Dubai International Exhibition Centre.
