UAE-based Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower) said it has completed the district cooling infrastructure network for Damac Towers by Paramount which consist of four towers including an international hotel.

Damac Towers by Paramount Hotels & Resorts is a hotel and residential complex located in the heart of the Burj area, Dubai. This development comprising 1,200 luxury serviced suites in three towers, offers sumptuous living with a Hollywood flavour, said a statement from Damac.

The fourth tower houses the world’s first Paramount Hotel and Paramount Residences. Each of the four towers stretches over 250 m in height, joined by a multi-level plaza. The suites feature contemporary design cues where elements of the California lifestyle are transported to Dubai in a distinctive ‘Hollywood studio’ feel, it stated.

Earlier in 2014, Empower signed a contract to provide district cooling services for Damac Towers as it is serving this iconic project with 7,500 tonnes of refrigeration (RT) through the second district cooling plant (BB-2) located in Business Bay in Dubai.

Empower chief executive Ahmad bin Shafar said more and more real estate developers are adopting district cooling services in their developments as they realise its advantages.

“Our company continues to expand in Dubai by adding large projects to its portfolio of clients such as Damac Towers. Choosing us for landmark projects in Dubai demonstrates confidence and appreciation of our services and strategy that puts quality and efficiency at the top of our priorities,” he stated.

"This project is poised to be an ideal place to stay. As part of our leadership position in district cooling, we are adopting the best and international cooling standards in the four towers,” said bin Shafar.

Empower currently operates more than 1.1 million RT, providing environmentally responsible district cooling services to large-scale real estate developments, such as Jumeirah Group, Business Bay, Jumeirah Beach Residence, Dubai International Financial Centre, Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Lake Towers, Ibn Battuta Mall, Discovery Gardens, Dubai Healthcare City, Dubai World Trade Centre Residences and Dubai Design District.-TradeArabia News Service
