The scheme will be the first new construction project there since the property crash in 2008, and the first by a joint venture between Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD) and Canadian asset manager Brookfield.
ICD Brookfield Place will comprise a 50-storey office tower, hotel and retail outlets next to the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC). The first tenants are expected in 2018.
