Construction begins on Fosters+Partners’ crystalline tower in Dubai

The groundbreaking of ICD Brookfield Place located in Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) district took place in the last week of January 2016. The 1.5 million sq.ft mixed-use development is designed by global firm Fosters + Partners.

The 53-storey crystalline tower comprises over 900,000 sq.ft of office space adjacent to a 150,000-sq.ft retail centre.

Grant Brooker, senior executive partner at Fosters + Partners said: “The new office tower – on target to achieve a LEED Gold rating – is shaped to reflect the sunlight, and is surrounded by a rich mix of easily accessible terraced spaces, that create a vibrant and lively extension to the DIFC.”

The construction of ICD Brookfield Place is expected to be completed by late 2018.
