TOPPED OUT – SKY AND SUN TOWERS REACH THEIR PEAK
The landmark Sky and Sun Towers, marking the entrance of SHAMS Abu Dhabi, have been 'topped out', meaning that the structures have been completed on both buildings.
Both buildings are now at their full height, with the Sky Tower registering 74 stories and Sun Tower at 65 stories. The buildings are officially the tallest structures in Abu Dhabi today and act as a visual reference point and gateway to SHAMS Abu Dhabi.
Progress on the development continues apace with the majority of the installation work on both the curtain (ie exterior) walls and Sky Pods both completed.
The ground floor slab, Mezzanine level and Level 1 and 2 of the Podium (which will be home to retail, leisure and business facilities) have now been finalised. Levels 3 and 4 are now 90% and 76% complete respectively. Overall construction work on the Podium is now 82% complete and on track to be finished in August.
The internal fit-out of both buildings is also well underway, with meticulous detail being paid to the finishing of the interior partitioning, floor, ceiling and mechanical engineering, meeting the highest standards that Sorouh customers have come to expect.
