The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre took another step towards establishing a diamond industry cluster in Dubai, with the handover of offices in the Almas Tower to its diamond sector members. Located within the upcoming Jumeirah Lakes Towers development, the 65-floor Almas Tower is DMCC’s flagship tower, built to cater to the specific needs of the diamond industry.
DMCC handed over the keys to member companies occupying levels 3-20 of Almas Tower, during a ceremony held Jan. 8 at Monarch Hotel in Dubai. The clients can now complete the individual fit outs of their offices before they move in.
“The completion of Almas Tower is a significant step towards DMCC’s objective of establishing a dedicated market place, providing industry-specific market infrastructure and full range of facilities for the diamond trade in Dubai. Equipped with hi-tech security systems and secure vaulting facilities, Almas Tower offer an entire range of diamond trade related facilities, and
(The Almas Tower) will lay the foundation for a dedicated diamond industry cluster in the region. It will also house Dubai Diamond Exchange, the region’s only diamond exchange,” said Ahmed bin Sulayem, DMCC executive chairman
Nearly 100 members will be occupying levels 3-20 of the Almas Tower, he added. The rest of the floors will be handed over in phases over the next couple of months.
