UAE: DUBAI GETS WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN-ONLY TOWER
(ANSAmed) - DUBAI, OCTOBER 1 - Hydra Properties, one of the
leading real estate developers in the UAE, has completed
excavation work on what is being billed as the world's first
tower exclusively for businesswomen, the Abu Dhabi-based
developer said as reported by Arabian business online.
Evés Tower, located within Dubaìs Business Bay development,
will be the first tower where only women can own office space.
Men will be allowed to work there, but women will be provided
special facilities such as entrances, elevators and car parks.
Hydra CEO Sulaiman Al-Fahim told Arabian Business the project
will "encourage entrepreneurship amongst women".
"This project will give women the chance and incentives to
own their own office space," Al-Fahim said.
Hydra said piling work on the 20-storey tower is expected to
start soon, with the project expected to be finished by 2010.
Evés Tower is part of the Hydra Towers Project that
comprises five, high-rise buildings at the centre of Business
Bay. (ANSAmed).
