Emirates Towers, Building complex on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Emirates Towers is a complex on Sheikh Zayed Road made up of the Emirates Office Tower and the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel, joined by a two-storey, 9,000 m² retail complex called The Boulevard. The office tower rises to 354.6 m at its tip, the hotel to 241.4 m of occupied space; the hotel has 400 rooms.
The complex was built starting in 1996 and finished in 2000, marking a turning point in Dubai's architectural development. The project brought the most advanced skyscraper technology to the region at that time and set new standards for future building projects.
The towers shape the streetscape through their modern triangular forms and gleaming glass facade that shimmers in sunlight. Visitors immediately notice how these buildings define the character of Sheikh Zayed Road and form the heart of the city's business activity.
The complex sits on Sheikh Zayed Road and is linked by a two-storey retail area, The Boulevard, joining the office and hotel towers. Parking on the grounds holds up to 1,500 cars, and the surrounding gardens with lakes and waterfalls are open for walking.
The taller office tower has 56 floors and the hotel tower 54, though they rise to similar heights, because office floors are taller. The grounds hold over 570,000 m2 of gardens with lakes and waterfalls, where peacocks from the nearby Zabeel Palace roam.
