The #Building_Communities campaign by Emaar Properties to mark the Holy Month of Ramadan has entered its final week. Love a little, share a little and give a little, and post details of your random acts of kindness on Emaar’s social media networks. The most touching story will receive AED20,000 to be given to a charity of the winner’s choice.

This is part of an innovative social experiment, whereby people are urged to share their stories of kindness; these could range from leaving a friendly note at someone’s desk to donating time to a local charity or even helping a stranger in need.

Emaar has also shared short videos on its social networks to highlight the stories of people who have made a positive change through their charity initiatives. Featured are Ahmed Haweel, Ifraz Ahsan and Anushree Unakal, three students who decided to ‘give’ their time by visiting patients at Mediclinic Dubai Mall, to spread positivity and make the patients as happy as possible.

Further inspiring you to volunteer your time and effort for a good cause is Dr. Shambavi Rajagopal, founder of Save Scrap N’ Sew. The non-profit organisation takes scraps of unused materials from tailors and stitches them into useful items that are given away. It builds on Dr. Shambavi’s passion to lend a personal touch to a charitable deed.

Emaar has placed over 1,000 #Building_Communities boxes across its assets, each with gift vouchers valued at AED 100. The boxes have instructions on the charitable deed to be done, which could be anything from buying a stranger a present using the voucher or gifting it to a person in need. The voucher can be used at The Dubai Mall, Address Hotels and restaurants, Reel Cinemas as well as all other Emaar businesses.

#Building_Communities complements the ‘Year of Giving’ announced by UAE President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, with a focus on supporting less privileged communities through charitable initiatives.

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, reviewed the progress in construction of The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour, the iconic observation tower that defines a new skyline for the nation.

His Highness was accompanied on the tour by Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman of Emaar Properties; HE Abdullah Al Habbai, Chairman of Dubai Holding, and other senior officials.

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid was briefed on the milestones already achieved including the completion of foundation work and the commencement of work on the anchorages for the stay cables that are an integral part of design and structural support of The Tower.

In October 2016, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid marked the ground-breaking of the tower, with the foundation work accomplished in a record time. More than 145 barrette piles have been laid to depths of over 72 metres to secure the super-tall structure. His Highness witnessed the trimming of the barrette piles and the preparation of the reinforcement couplers, ready to receive the first sub structure slab.

The barrette piles used for the foundation have been tested to a world record test load of 360 MN (36,000 tonnes), and the work was undertaken by foundation specialist, Soletanche Bachy. A cathodic protection system, similar to that used on the foundations of Burj Khalifa, is being completed to protect it from any corrosion risk.

Mohamed Alabbar said: “We are thankful to the guidance and support of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who inspires us to continuously push our boundaries. The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour is our tribute to the nation, a new architectural marvel that will enhance our civic pride, and contribute to the economy by promoting the tourism sector. The spectacular tower will also frame a new skyline that adds to the cityscape set by Burj Khalifa.”

His Excellency Abdullah Al Habbai said: “The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour stands for the positivity and hope that Dubai celebrates. It reflects the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to establish the city as a hub for business and leisure, and welcome visitors from around the world. With this iconic development, Dubai is once again demonstrating its ability to develop first-of-its-kind projects that surprise the world.”

With work on the 19m Pile Cap commencing shortly, The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour will witness a global team of professionals at work to create another global icon. Designed by Spanish/Swiss architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava Valls, The Tower will feature several observation decks that offer 360 degree views of the city and beyond. Among the highlights are The Pinnacle Room and VIP Observation Garden Decks that recreate the splendour of the ‘Hanging Gardens of Babylon,’ one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The Tower adds incredible economic value to Dubai Creek Harbour where Emaar has unveiled exceptional residential projects including Creek Gate, Harbour Gate, The Cove, Dubai Creek Residences, Creekside 18, Harbour Views, and Creek Horizon, among others.
