Escan Tower, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai

Dubai is the "Emirate Of Towers!!" There are so many magnificent towers being built and planned in Dubai: Burj Dubai, Dubai Towers, Emirates Towers (finished), Al Burj....and thousands more. Escan Tower is a spectacular newly planned $700Million, 60-storey skyscraper that will have one of the most enviable locations in all of Dubai, Sheikh Zayed Road-- the main thoroughfare that links Dubai to Abu Dhabi. One of the many very appealing features of Escan Tower is that it is the FIRST Freehold commercial building on the highway.

The 60 floors of Escan Tower will comprise 40 residential floors and 20 commercial floors. The tower, which is being developed by Escan Real Estate and ACI Real Estate, has been architecturally designed to offer all-angle views, with the infusion of abundant natural light. Escan Tower will offer sweeping views of the waterfront by day, and by night the famous city lights overlooking Sheikh Zayed Road, and the majestic Burj Dubai located just meters away. Wow! What a view!

"Escan Tower is a first on many fronts not only for its impressive aesthetic appeal, and rare freehold status on prime real estate, but importantly it also marks the first step in our collaborative successes with ACI. We have deep respect for ACI's insightful understanding of the market and international alliances, and believe their efforts shown to date uphold our shared mission of delivering with unyielding energy and commitment to excellence," said Saeed Matar Bin Belaila, Chairman of Escan Real Estate.

Some of the features of Escan Tower include:

> Fully equipped Business Center,
> Luxurious lobby and reception,
> High speed elevators,
> Men's and women's Spas,
> Private swimming pool,
> Game Room,
> High end retail shops and restaurants,
> 24 hour security and service.

Mr. Robin Lohmann, Managing Director of ACI Real Estate, had this to say about the project:

"Escan Tower clearly distinguishes itself in many important facets. Importantly it lends testament to the unsurpassed benefit that can only come from building strength upon strength to achieve a single spectacular vision. We at ACI are excited about further collaborative successes with Escan Real Estate in the near future."

From a purely investment point of view, I think Escan Tower, with its Freehold Status and fantastic location right on Sheikh Zayed Road, will turn out to be a big winner for investors. From an architectural point of view, I think the tower will be one of the most stunning in Dubai!
