Palazzo Versace Dubai 60% complete


The main structure and 60 percent of the entire construction work at the Palazzo Versace Dubai project is now complete, the resort’s developers said this week.


So far, more than 91,000 m3 of concrete, 20,000 tonnes of reinforcing steel and over 3,500,000 man hours have gone into creating the 170,000 sq m luxury resort, which is due to be complete early next year.
The AED2.3bn ($626m) project’s external structure is now complete and was finalised in a topping out ceremony and the interior renderings, which will include 12,000 square metres of bespoke mosaic artwork depicting the famous Versace icons and Greco-Roman icons, is about to commence.

The 4.3 hectare development is being developed by Emirates Sunland Group and Versace and is being built by the Dubai-based Arabtec construction firm.
“The main structure of Palazzo Versace Dubai is now complete and we are over 60 percent build complete for the entire resort. The external landscaping, along with the inclusion of the luxurious swimming pools will soon commence. We anticipate completion in early 2011,” said Soheil Abedian, managing director of Emirates Sunland Group and President of Palazzo Versace.
The designer hotel will include 169 private residences and 217 hotel suites, which will be furnished from the Versace Home range.
The Dubai resort will be the second Palazzo Versace, following the first hotel on Australia’s Gold Coast, and the developers are aiming to open a further 13 resorts worldwide.
