SIEC has been commissioned by Nakheel to carry out a preliminary masterplan and architectural concept design for an approximate area of 350,000 sqm of GFA on four partially residential buildings and podiums on a plot of land in the Jumeirah Heights area, adjacent to Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) and Jumeirah Islands in Dubai.

After an initial high level assessment it has been determined that the residences will be targeted to a mid and high end class user in Dubai with family residents as a key driver behind the environment proposed.

At the forefront of the design thinking lies a fundamental focus on the existing development that has already been built and an approach that looks to minimise abortive work whilst at the same time developing a solution that offers efficient and well designed units that align with current market demands.

This thinking has led to a new design approach for the site wherein SIECs proposal considers a rethink of the current four towers to a total of 6 new towers.
