D'SECO launches AED 380 million Oval Tower in Dubai

Sure to please business ventures looking for office space in the right location, Oval Tower will be situated at Dubai's most prestigious and prime business hub, the Business Bay area, allowing easy access to Sheikh Zayed road as well as Al Khail road. The Tower is also designed with its many utilities to cater to the needs of ambitious and quality seeking business entities.

Occupants of Oval Tower will be able to enjoy efficiently-designed and comfortable office spaces. The flexible floor layouts will allow tenants to choose from a number of different configurations to plan whether an individual or an open office space is preferred. Offices are also designed according to international standards and regulations ensuring a safe and productive business environment.
