Entisar Tower, Dubai

The Entisar Tower is a mixed-use development under construction on Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road. The 114-storey high rise contains retail spaces, offices, a hotel, residential units and amenities, with an adjacent 15-storey building offering conventional and automatic parking and various leisure spaces such as a fitness center, roof deck garden and pool. A significant structure sits under the annex building consisting of six basement levels.

The design of the building was considered in a segmented manner, a horizontal spread of space was converted into a vertical tower.

Co-ordinating the infrastructure into the core of such a high-rise building, and space constraints due to the concrete structure, are some of the design challenges that WSP tackled.
