In line with Dubai´s vision for greener more environmentally friendly buildings, AFP is also pleased to announce that by using the latest technologies and materials, its latest towers will be in compliance with the Green Building Regulations promoting a brighter, cleaner Dubai.

Work is well underway on its Phase 1 projects with aluminum and glass materials expected to arrive early February allowing cladding to start immediately. For Phase 2 (including the Ebony and Ivory project - a themed series of 2 all white and 1 all black specialty glass cladded collection of towers) the excavation, dewatering, shoring and piling has been completed and the green consultant has recently been appointed to ensure all requirements of the Environment, Health and Safety department are met.

Under the terms of the order, AFP has placed a contract value of approximately AED 154 million (c.US$42m) with Shenyang Yuanda Aluminum Industry Engineering Co. Ltd. (Dubai Branch) for six of its nine towers. The contract for the remaining three towers in the office chain series has been awarded to Reem Emirates Aluminium at an estimated contract value of AED 91 million (c.US$24.8m).
