Three times the size of Downtown Dubai, Dubai Creek Harbour combines city living with the natural contours of the creek and is located in close proximity to the Dubai International Airport. The Island District, where Harbour Views is anchored, is billed to be one of Dubai’s key tourism attractions offering a stunning yacht club, world-class marina and harbour, hotels, high-end retail and other leisure choices.

Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director of Emaar Properties, said: “Harbour Views is among the most prestigious residential projects in Dubai Creek Harbour that underlines our commitment to develop next generation smart neighbourhoods. As the tallest residential project in the Island District, it stands apart with its unbeatable views and central location. Celebrating the marina lifestyle, Harbour Views homes are ideal for connoisseurs who cherish a relaxed way of life in the heart of the city with all modern amenities in walking distance.”

DUTCO Group has a proven track record in mega-developments having earlier been assigned the task of building The Dubai Mall, the world’s largest mall by Emaar. The company is also currently undertaking the expansion work of The Dubai Mall.

A team of international consultants has already been mobilised by DUTCO Group, who are now on site and working round-the-clock. Cleaning work has started with the mechanical, electrical and structural assessment of the building and restoration also underway.

Emaar is coordinating with the concerned government entities including the Dubai Police, Dubai Civil Defence, Dubai Municipality and Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, among others, to expedite the work.

Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman of Emaar Properties, said: “We are committed to expediting the reopening of the hotel in line with the directives of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. We are demonstrating the can-do ability of Dubai with our focus on opening the hotel in record time using the best in design, quality and technology.

“The Address Downtown Dubai is our first hotel project and it has set international benchmarks with its excellent hospitality standards. We will restore the project to its glory and even surpass its grandeur that befits the prestige of the city and Downtown Dubai. We are working with all Dubai government entities to expedite the construction work.”

As soon as clearing and assessment work is completed, construction will commence as per a tightly scheduled calendar with a focus on the highest standards of quality. “To achieve our timelines, we will leverage all our resources and our proven track-record of delivering iconic projects. Every aspect of the workflow will be clearly streamlined and we will deploy the latest technology tools to ensure that we meet our timeframe,” said Mr. Alabbar.

The details of the work including the timelines and plans will be revealed in due course.

DUTCO Group has been engaged in several major civil works projects such as the Arrivals Terminal and the Dubai Airwing Facilities at Dubai International Airport, among other hotel, residential and commercial projects.

The company is accredited under ISO 9000, ISO 14001 & OHSAS 18001 and was awarded the Dubai Quality Award in 1996. It has also won the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Business Award in the construction category.

Dubai has once again demonstrated its inherent strength and positivity with the swift, professional, calm and caring response to the fire incident at The Address Downtown Dubai hotel.

We are extremely thankful to the leadership and guidance of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, for keeping our morale high, and for his prompt directives that enabled us to deal with a challenging situation with utmost professionalism.

Within minutes of the incident, Dubai Civil Defence, Dubai Police, Dubai Ambulance Services, the RTA, Dubai Heath Authority and all the governmental authorities concerned, coordinated and responded with maximum efficiency.

Our immediate priority was ensuring the safety of our guests and colleagues, and we evacuated all of them safely in record time in a most orderly fashion. The authorities also ensured the safety of the hundreds of thousands of visitors to Downtown Dubai.

All our guests and residents have been relocated across various Emaar and other hotels in the city. We have set up a dedicated team from different departments of Emaar to ensure that all requirements of our guests are being met immediately. We thank our guests for their understanding and patience.

We also extend our gratitude to the management teams and staff of various hotels in Dubai, who stepped forward unconditionally to support us in relocating our guests. This is a true testament to how Dubai operates as ‘one team.’

We are thankful to Major General Khamis Mattar Al Mazeina, Dubai Police Chief; Major General Rashid Thani Al Matroushi, Director General of Dubai Civil Defence and the heads, first officers and staff members of all the Dubai government entities who demonstrated their superb commitment and dedication. We especially thank the Dubai Civil Defence officials for their exceptional bravery and hard work.

The teams across Dubai government entities are the true heroes. Their noble work gives Dubai’s people and the business community the sense of security, comfort and confidence.

Emaar is proud of them and we underline our commitment to do even more for these committed men and women. I believe that it is our responsibility to give back to them for being with us.

We are also thankful to the various Embassy and Consulate officials in the UAE and Dubai for their support to us in facilitating the travel and documentation process for our guests. The authorities and staff at the General Directorate of Residency and Foreign Affairs, Dubai International Airport, Emirates Airline and other airline companies were quick to extend support to our guests, and we are grateful to them for their kind consideration and care in ensuring the well-being of our guests.

I would also like thank my team at The Address Downtown Dubai and other Emaar hotels for their commitment and for putting the interests of the guests first and foremost. The team at Emaar Hospitality Group and Emaar’s various business divisions are working closely together and strive tirelessly to ensure that the concerns of our guests are efficiently addressed. We have set up a taskforce with a dedicated team and operations room to serve our guests.

We also extend our heartfelt appreciation and debt of gratitude to the people of Dubai, especially the visitors to Downtown Dubai, for their patience and trust in us. Their orderly conduct demonstrated their confidence in Dubai’s officials to meeting any challenge calmly.

We develop our projects to the highest standards of quality and as per international best practices. The hotel is the flagship project of The Address Hotels + Resorts. It is a global landmark that has welcomed guests from all over the world.

It has set world-class benchmarks in the hospitality industry, and we are determined to restore it to all its glory, and even surpass the splendid architectural standards. Further timelines and plans will be shared as they are finalised.

We are thankful that all our guests are safe and secure, and that we have overcome the challenge with the support of all the government entities and the people of the UAE.

We derive new learnings from such events, which reinforce our resilience to be a company that is committed to add to the prestige and reputation of Dubai and create long-term value to all our stakeholders.”
