Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD) has launched an iconic 36-storey mixed-use development One Za'abeel at the World Trade Center roundabout.


One Za'abeel has been rightly named, as it is strategic ally positioned between the old and new business districts in the Sheikh Zayed Road of Dubai. Comprising three separate towers, One Za'abeel will be interlinked at the top, and will share a common podium at the base. It is for the first time in the region that a highway will run through the development. One Za'abeel will offer easy access to both Metro stations.

The unique residential tower will include 450 apartments, a 370-room five-star hotel tower, and a commercial tower covering 500,000 square feet of space. The commercial tower too, will be interlinked at the top with 133 serviced apartments, and will feature a swimming pool, meeting rooms and other amenities making it an ideal hub for Dubai's business community.

The retail area, covering 270,000 square feet, will have a retail podium that connects the three towers at the ground level. One Zaabeel will have a car parking space for 2300 cars.

Construction of the project is likely to begin shortly and will be complete during early 2011. Due to its prime location on the Sheikh Zayed road, One Za'abeel will turn out to be a symbol of Dubai's rich trading roots, and will rapidly rise to be a modern international financial and business hub. One Za'abeel is planned such that it turns out to be an environment-friendly project, abiding by the green buildings initiative launched by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and ruler of Dubai.
