ASGC, one of the leading construction groups in the UAE, has been appointed as the main contractor for 25hours One Central, a 434-room property from AccorHotels, which upon completion will be the largest 25hours Hotel property worldwide.

Located in Dubai World Trade Centre’s One Central development and expected to open by 2020, the new property will include approximately 434 rooms over nine floors, plus one ground level and four basement levels.

AccorHotels said the upcoming 25hours One Central was the group’s first in the Middle East. It is a celebration of individuality, with each property tailor-made for urban, cosmopolitan and culturally aware guests.

With an emphasis on social dining concepts, adventure and cutting-edge design, each 25hours Hotel has been shaped into a vibrant community hub, it added.  

Ground has already been broken on the site with ASGC planning to deploy its technology-driven strategy on the 25hours One Central project, using cutting-edge solutions such as drones with high-definition closed-circuit television and 360-degree video-capturing systems, to monitor progress at the site, it added.

On the project win, Bishoy Azmy, the chief executive of ASGC, said: "It is a privilege to work on such an iconic hospitality project, one that will become the largest in the 25hours Hotel global portfolio."

"In matching to the vision of AccorHotels and DWTC, we will be leveraging the very best techniques, technologies and talent to ensure smooth project completion and deliver to the impeccable standards that we are all committed to," he added.

With a strong portfolio of prestigious properties behind it, ASGC is known for delivering turnkey projects in the UAE since 1989, including recent landmarks such as City Walk, Etihad Museum and the Waldorf Astoria – Palm Jumeirah, said Azmi.

In addition to undertaking large-scale construction projects, ASGC offers related construction products and services, including mechanical, electrical and plumbing services, steel structural work, readymix concrete and precast products, as well as interior fit-outs through a number of subsidiaries, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
