UK-based RMJM has been appointed as the executive architect and interior designer for a 928-metre tower being developed by Dubai-listed builder Emaar Properties.

 

The tower will cost $1 billion to build and will be completed before Expo 2020. It will be located within Emaar’s Dubai Creek Harbour development.

 

Spain’s Santiago Calatrava is leading the design and engineering work on the project, while Australia-based Aurecon is acting as the engineering consultant.

 

In June, contractors were invited by Emaar to submit bids for the piling works contract, MEED earlier reported. 

 

Work on the tower’s foundation is expected to start later in 2016 and will take about a year to complete. Tendering for the superstructure will start once the foundation work has begun.

 

Last month, the developer announced the completion of wind tunnel tests to confirm the structural strength and durability of the tower.
