Mohammed Alabbar, the visionary behind Emaar and Noon, recently unveiled ambitious plans for the Dubai Creek Tower, often referred to as the “Female Burj Khalifa.” This striking addition to Dubai’s skyline is set to be a key feature within the expansive Dubai Creek Harbour.
Innovative Mall Concept with Electric Car Access
Speaking at the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival (SEF) 2024, Alabbar revealed that the Dubai Creek Tower would be part of a groundbreaking mall in Dubai Creek Harbour. What sets it apart is a pioneering concept – customers will have the unique experience of driving electric cars through the mall, a first-of-its-kind venture in the world.
Insights into Decision-making and Business Empire Building
In a session titled “Towering Success: What It Takes to Build a Business Empire” at SEF 2024, Alabbar delved into the company’s decisions and setbacks. He disclosed the shift from plans for a one-kilometer-tall tower, redirecting focus to projects like the Dubai Creek Tower. Despite maintaining allure for investors, this project adopts a distinct approach, offering a fresh perspective on architectural grandeur.
Challenges of Running a Publicly Listed Company
Alabbar highlighted the challenges of steering a publicly listed company, stressing the importance of transparency and accountability in quarterly assessments. Despite the hurdles, he expressed gratitude for the discipline it instills, contributing significantly to personal and professional growth.
Dubai Creek Harbour Project – A New Urban Center
Envisioned as a sprawling urban center spanning six million square meters, the Dubai Creek Harbour project places the Dubai Creek Tower as its centerpiece. Alabbar hinted at the imminent unveiling of the tower’s design, marking a significant milestone in Dubai’s ever-evolving architectural landscape.
As Dubai continues to redefine its skyline, the “Female Burj Khalifa” promises not only to captivate with its distinctive design but also to revolutionize the shopping experience with the introduction of electric car access within its mall. The Dubai Creek Tower stands as a testament to Dubai’s commitment to architectural innovation and forward-thinking urban planning.
