One of the biggest property management and development firms in Dubai, Wasl Asset Management Group, has provided an update on the recognizable “Wasl Tower,” which is now under construction on Sheikh Zayed Road.
The skyscraper is taking shape, and once completed, the 302-meter twisting, asymmetrically designed tower will feature the region’s tallest ceramic facade and present an illusion of dynamic motion.
Wasl Tower will consist of 64 floors constituting 229 residential units, 258 hotel rooms as part of Dubai’s second Mandarin Oriental Hotel, 185,345 square feet of office space, and 11 parking floors. The project, with a total built-up area of 1.8 million square feet, will also feature a helipad.
Structural works on 56 floors of Wasl Tower have been completed, and façade works have reached level 13. Mechanical, electrical, and plumping works are now at level 52.
Wasl Tower is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2024.
The tower, enjoying direct views of Burj Khalifa, will also be linked to the Burj Khalifa Metro Station, connecting two prime districts, Downtown Dubai and City Walk.
The Wasl Tower is oriented in practically every direction because of its Z axis design and traditional “contrapposto” movement. This structure stands out in Dubai’s scorching summers because of its ability to acclimate to local temperatures using shade and cooling systems.
