RAPAPORT... The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre
(DMCC) has unveiled its 'Burj2020 District' concept, a mixed-use urban
center.
The new area, introduced at
the 2015 Cityscape Global Conference, will include several towers and
will total more than 1 million square meters. In addition to
commercial space, the district will make available 100,000 square meters of retail space
and will serve the surrounding DMCC Free Zone and Jumeirah Lake
Towers. That Free Zone now consists of 66 towers.
Adrian Smith, a partner at AS+GG, the
firm behind the concept, said the design of Burj2020 is inspired by faceted
gemstones. “Symbolizing the next stage of growth for the city, the design of
the 'Burj2020' is also inspired by the facets of a diamond – elegant, bold and
timeless," he said.
