DMCC, Dubai’s international business district that facilitates global trade, together with REIT Development, has appointed the National Engineering Bureau (NEB) as the official design and supervision consultant for the upcoming Crypto Tower.
Set to be the world’s first commercial skyscraper dedicated entirely to Web3 and digital assets, the Crypto Tower represents a major milestone in the evolution of Dubai’s technology-driven real estate landscape.
Situated in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), the tower will provide premium commercial spaces tailored for companies engaged in blockchain, cryptocurrency, and digital asset innovation.
The appointment of NEB marks a pivotal stage in the project’s development, aligning with DMCC’s mission to enhance the infrastructure supporting rapidly expanding technology sectors.
With more than 40 years of experience in the UAE, NEB will oversee all facets of the project’s architectural design, engineering, regulatory approvals, and on-site supervision. The firm has previously contributed to several complex developments in the JLT area, reinforcing its expertise in delivering large-scale urban projects.
Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and CEO of DMCC, commented: “The appointment of the National Engineering Bureau marks a defining milestone in realising our vision for the world’s first commercial tower dedicated to Web3 and digital assets. Serving as a physical anchor for DMCC’s growing community of over 3,400 tech companies – including more than 700 within our Crypto Centre – the tower will provide premium, purpose-built office space for the next generation of digital enterprises. It will also accelerate the transformation of Uptown Dubai and Jumeirah Lakes Towers into two of Dubai’s most dynamic business districts, reinforcing DMCC’s position as a global hub for crypto, Web3, and advanced technologies.”
Karen Kriska, VP of Operations at Crypto Tower, added: “We are thrilled to partner with the National Engineering Bureau as our trusted design and supervision consultant. NEB has an extraordinary legacy of designing and supervising hundreds of buildings across Dubai, including many iconic projects in the JLT area. Their deep knowledge of the local regulatory environment, paired with their track record of architectural innovation, makes them the perfect partner to bring Crypto Tower to life as a landmark destination for the Web3 community.”
A collaboration between DMCC and REIT Development, the Crypto Tower aims to serve as a central hub for the 700-plus crypto and blockchain companies currently based in DMCC, which are part of its wider network of over 3,400 technology firms.
This initiative underscores DMCC’s commitment to investing in infrastructure that supports the digital economy, attracting high-growth enterprises, and solidifying Dubai’s reputation as a leading global centre for Web3, fintech, and emerging technologies.
Jamil Jadallah, CEO of the National Engineering Bureau, said: “Being selected for this visionary project is a proud moment for NEB. Crypto Tower is set to become a cornerstone of the digital economy in the UAE, and we are committed to delivering a service that reflects its innovation, ambition, and impact. At NEB, we have always believed in shaping the future of urban development – and this project exemplifies that ethos. We look forward to leveraging our decades of experience and deep-rooted presence in Dubai to deliver a landmark that stands as a symbol of the UAE’s leadership in technology and smart infrastructure.”
