Dubai Healthcare City Authority (DHCA), the governing body of Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC), has announced an AED1.3 billion ($354 million) development plan for DHCC Phase I, thus reinforcing its position as an attractive destination for global healthcare investment.
The first stage of this comprehensive plan will see the launch of a LEED platinum-certified office building, a purpose-built medical complex, and supporting infrastructure facilities designed to drive robust ecosystem growth and deliver future-ready facilities.
The LEED platinum-certified office building, a first of its kind in DHCC, is designed by award-winning firm P&T Architects and Engineers.
Spanning 13,000 sq m across three basement levels and nine floors, it offers a flexible mix of office units and ground-floor commercial spaces, setting a new standard for sustainable urban development while achieving the highest international certification, it stated.
Dubai Healthcare City Authority CEO Issam Galadari said: "Our upcoming development plan, starting with these flagship projects, reflects our commitment to contribute to the advancement of Dubai’s healthcare infrastructure."
"By creating an ecosystem that attracts investments, including FDI, and fosters innovation, while integrating sustainability with world-class design, we are aligning with the Dubai Economic Agenda, D33, and the UAE Net Zero Strategy 2050. Through the ongoing development, we will continue to cement DHCC’s position as the enabling healthcare and wellness destination for the region and beyond," he stated.
Alongside this, the purpose-built medical complex, designed by Dubai-based Design and Architecture Bureau (DAR), is an anchor project covering 5,800 sq m.
With two basement levels and five floors, it provides adaptable spaces for surgical facilities, laboratories, diagnostics, outpatient facilities, medical offices, and support services.
Its shell-and-core design, optimised layouts, and smart parking integration ensure long-term flexibility to meet the evolving needs of both healthcare providers and patients, stated DHCA in a statement.
To complement these projects and enhance community access, DHCA is also delivering multi-storey car parks equipped with electric vehicle charging stations, Salik-integrated smart parking, and full accessibility features, it added.
DHCA Chief Operating Officer Allae Almanini said: "Our priority is to deliver infrastructure that enables growth and creates confidence for healthcare providers and investors."
"These projects will enhance accessibility, sustainability, and efficiency across the community, ensuring that DHCC remains the most attractive healthcare investment destination in the region," stated Almanini.
Construction will begin in December and it is set for completion in November 2027.-TradeArabia News Service
