Twin-Towered Al Taif Business Centre - a Landmark Development in Fujairah
The newly-opened Al Taif Business Centre is proving to be a unique development in Fujairah. Designed by Dewan Architects + Engineers, the twin-towered structure is redefining the commercial landscape of the UAE emirate. The development showcases a harmonious blend of commercial, retail, and hospitality components, with an architectural style inspired by the cultural milieu.
Situated on a plot area of 19,575 sqm, the Al Taif Business Centre spans an impressive built-up area of approximately 96,500 sqm. The development includes a modern retail mall, a striking hotel tower, and a contemporary office tower, with each component opened separately over a three-month period. The mall, occupying 15,600 sqm, serves as the vibrant base for the hotel and office towers, inviting visitors to explore a diverse range of shops, boutiques, and dining establishments.
The office tower, a soaring G+19 floors structure with a built-up area of 24,500 sqm, is a flexible space tailored to meet the diverse needs of businesses. With its contemporary facade and cutting-edge design, the office tower provides a dynamic environment for companies of all sizes.
The hotel tower, alsoG+19 floors, boasts panoramic windows that offer clear views of Fujairah's captivating cityscape. The DoubleTree by Hilton Fujairah City, occupying the hotel tower, presents a sleek and sophisticated design catering to business travellers, tourists, and event attendees.
A testament to architectural excellence, the Al Taif Business Centre prioritises accessibility and public engagement. The design features a podium structure that unifies the retail, hotel, and office spaces, creating a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere. An open podium from both sides ensures a continuous flow of people, while a large skylight floods the interior with natural light, enhancing the well-being and experience of occupants.
Dewan Architects + Engineers drew inspiration from the colours and patterns found in Fujairah's desert landscape and vernacular architecture, resulting in a design that harmoniously blends modern elements with a rooted sense of place. The architects embraced the client's vision, fostering collaboration and communication throughout the design process to ensure the realisation of a functional and meaningful space that stands the test of time.
Al Taif Investment's vision for the Al Taif Business Centre was to create a landmark development that not only transforms Fujairah's commercial landscape but also contributes significantly to the region's economic growth and prosperity. The integration of retail, hospitality, and office components reflects their commitment to fostering a vibrant community.
