UAE-based Abdul Rahim Architectural Consultants (Araco) said it has won a contract from Tecom Group, a member of Dubai Holding, for its Dh75-million ($20.4 million) tower at Al Barsha Heights located in one of the fastest growing neighbourhoods of Dubai.

The 14-storey building boasts 130 units, including 12 studios, 86 one-bedroom apartments and 32 two-bedroom apartments, with commercial elements and a resident’s health centre, complete with gymnasium and swimming pool, said a statement from Araco.

The tower will also feature two basement floors of underground parking, it stated.

The community, which was previously known as Tecom, has been rebranded and renamed as Barsha Heights. Located in the heart of Dubai, it features residential and commercial buildings as well as serviced apartments and hotels.

It's a vibrant and popular community that has become an integral part of Dubai’s diverse landscape.

On the contract win, Bader Abu Shaaban, the head of business development, said: "Dubai’s stock of quality and affordable housing is always growing, and we are delighted to contribute to the ongoing development of the emirate through the launch of this project."

"With a strategic location and panoramic views of the city’s skyline and The Greens neighbourhood, the stylish and practical project will no doubt enjoy huge popularity with future residents of Al Barsha Heights," he added.
