The second phase of Dubai World Trade Centre’s (DWTC) One Central development is 91% complete, senior project officials told Construction Week.
Worth $2.2bn (AED8bn), the mixed-use development is being built in Dubai’s Za’abeel neighbourhood, with Al-Futtaim Carillion (AFC) onsite as main contractor.
Anil Kumar, project director at AFC, said the company – which worked on the first phase of the project as well – was awarded the package for Phase 2 – which includes Offices 2 and Offices 4 – in Q1 2016.
Contractual milestones for both Phase 2 buildings are being achieved as planned, and the team has also received the building completion certificate (BCC) for Offices 3.

“Work on Offices 2 is 95% complete, and we will complete it as scheduled,” Kumar told Construction Week.
