More than 75 per cent of construction completed at Sky Gardens

Work had commenced in January 2006 and to date 33 out of the 40 residential floors have been completed. A spokesperson for the Sky Gardens Project said that construction development is going to plan and should be completed on schedule, in November 2007.

Based near the gate of the DIFC and facing Emirates Financial Towers, the Sky Gardens will be the first residential tower to be finished in a district that will be the focal point for economic activity in the region, attracting many investment banks and financial intermediaries from around the world. The financial centre provides all the prerequisites needed for a thriving futuristic metropolis including museums, galleries, shopping malls and landscaped living areas.

"Sky Gardens is Al Mazaya's flagship project in Dubai, where a number of units have already been promoted to investors after selling 45% of the project while the remaining units will be held for future plans where they will be sold as furnished units, taking into account the great demand for these kind of property in Dubai",

said Mr. Marwan Asaad, Senior Vive President Projects.

"Our progress in these construction works is rapidly turning our plans into reality. It is through the imagination and ingenuity of our architects, technicians, workers and our entire team, that the Sky Gardens development is proceeding higher and higher day after day, as another quality project under the name of Al Mazaya", he added.

The project comprises of a 40- storey residential tower covering an area of 5990 square meters. The designer of the project is from one of the world's most prominent architectural bureaus, the London based Gensler. Supervision of the project is assumed by WS ATKINS, while management by Projacs International. The project contains 575 residential units varying between studios, two and three bedroom apartments, duplex apartments and penthouses.

Adding to the location of the project, Sky Gardens is characterized with the beauty of design, where the element of creativity in this project is demonstrated in its five suspended gardens that overlook most of the residential units. This element enhanced the aesthetic image of the project internally and externally.

The luxurious design and the location itself have dictated the Sky Gardens design to be finished to high standards of furnishing specifications. Its façade is of American origin and the granite imported from Spain, which would make the project a distinctive architectural trademark. The fountains surround the building, are created by Unique Interior Design, who have already begun working on the interior designs inspired by an Armani style - with an oriental touch. All sanitary works used in the project are supplied by Villory & Boch, kitchens by TEKA and lifts by KONE.
