Mace has completed the construction of the world’s longest cantilevered building – One Za’abeel in Dubai
Owned by the Investment Corporation of Dubai, One Za’abeel is one of Mace’s most complex engineering projects.
The record-breaking 230-metre long steel and glass ‘Link’, or sky bridge, spans over a major four-lane highway suspended 100 metres above the ground between the development’s two towers.
One Za’abeel joins other iconic buildings and programmes
This includes the Jumeirah Beach Residences, Expo 2020, the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, Hyatt Capital Gate Hotel and the world’s longest indoor ski slope in the desert at Ski Dubai.
Jason Millett, Mace Group deputy CEO and CEO of consult said: “The opening of One Za’abeel, one of the most impressive structures that Mace has ever built, marks an appropriate moment to reflect on our ambitions in the UAE having just celebrated our 25th year of working here.
“We are proud to be delivering distinctive value in MEA by playing our part in the creation of the many inspirational landmark developments which are taking shape right across the region.”
