Multiforms, architectural façade specialists, has won a contract worth Dh175 million ($47.65 million) from leading contracting company Arabtec.

Under the deal, the company will supply and install external cladding for Tiara United, a first-of-its-kind two-tower project on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai. 

Multiforms, a subsidiary of Emaar Industries & Investments, will create four uniquely coloured zones that blend into one another as the building ascends in imitation of the light spectrum. The façade work will also have an organic feel to it, similar to the veins on a leaf.

“Undertaking the cladding work of a tower of this nature is a rare honour and we are privileged to be part of this prestigious operation. Tiara United will be an exceptional addition to Dubai’s already vibrant skyline and Multiforms is pleased to play a leading role in achieving this purpose,” said Firas Al Rifai, managing director, Multiforms.

The glass cladding for the buildings, which is set to be complete in 2010, will cover over 45,000 sq m. The twin towers are slated for commercial use and will rise up to 61 floors, affording an additional 350,000 sq ft of office space.

“Tiara United is a truly unique development, and the multi-coloured façade work will ensure that the two towers earn their rightful place among Dubai’s most eye-catching structures. We have chosen Multiforms to provide the unique façade work because such iconic developments require reliable and world-class partnerships,” said Riad Kamal, managing director, Arabtec Construction.

Multiforms was formed in 1997 to meet market demand for specialized façade work. – TradeArabia News Service
