Another milestone with the link now lifted at iconic One Za'abeel 100 Meters above ground level

More pieces of the connecting corridor between Dubai’s next two super-premium towers are being put into place. The 192-metre long first section of the Link of the One Za'abeel towers - located near Dubai World Trade Centre - is now 100 meters above ground level.

The second lift, of 900 tonnes, is scheduled for October. This will complete the Link structure to reach its final length of 226 metres and thus “break an international record for the longest cantilevered building in the world”. The Dubai Government owned Ithra Dubai is the developer.

The work was carried out over 12 days using one of the heaviest lifts in the region - at around 8,500 tonnes. More than 110 special jacks and heavy-duty strand jacks were used for the operation. The mixed-use development is expected to be completed in late 2021.

Zabeel One, with a 9,000-tonne horizontal steel structure, called The Link, will add to the numerous architectural novelties and distinctive silhouettes of the Dubai skyline.

With spectacular 360-degree views of Dubai, The Link will offer tourists and residents an unparalleled choice of fine dining, luxury hospitality and entertainment venues, and will feature an observation deck, gym, spa, pool, banquet hall, and a rooftop terrace.

"The Link" is a 228-meter horizontal steel bridge connecting the $1 billion One Za'abeel Twin Towers project of state-owned developer Ithra Dubai.

The Project includes premium office space, 263 high-end residential units, Retail Podium, 497 ultra-luxury hotel rooms and serviced apartments and the world's first One & Only urban resort

The Iconic One Za'abeel is the gate to the financial district of Dubai DIFC, with an overhead link to the Dubai World Trade Center.
