Issam Galadari, Director of One Za’abeel Holdings, said: “Over the past few months, we’ve proudly watched as One Za’abeel filled with life and activity. Our endeavours to deliver One Za’abeel with innovation, excellence, and ambition have come to fruition.
Construction of The Link was an immense engineering feat completed in two phases over 16 days. The first phase lifted an 8,500-tonne steel structure into place over 12 days using over 110 special jacks.
The second phase saw a 900+ tonne cantilevered structure lifted into position in just 4 days.
Floating 100 metres above ground, The Link houses 8 restaurants, the UAE’s longest infinity pool and a destination bar. It offers panoramic, 360-degree views of Dubai.
