Engie Solutions Lands Extended Uptown Tower Dubai FM Contract
13 January 2025
 

Engie Solutions has signed a new agreement to provide FM services at the iconic Uptown Tower Dubai.

The extended three-year contract includes mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems management and specialised technical services. Engie Solutions will also implement its Smart O&M technology platform and conduct  ASHRAE Energy Audits free of charge.

The operator has pledged to achieve a 10 per cent reduction in energy consumption at the site. 

Owned and developed by the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), the 81-storey tower features 22 floors of premium Grade A commercial office space. The building has an LEED Gold status in the globally recognised sustainability framework, and won a RoSPA Gold Award from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, in recognition of the major focus on health and safety during the construction.

In May 2024, the tower won the “Award of Excellence for Best Tall Building” and the “Award of Excellence for Construction” from the Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.

Paul Ashton, Executive Director – Property at the DMCC said: “Our continued partnership with ENGIE Solutions underscores DMCC’s commitment to operational excellence. With their proven expertise in facility management and a deep understanding of our requirements, ENGIE Solutions is well-positioned to uphold the high standards our community expects for Uptown Tower. By integrating a stronger focus on energy efficiency and sustainability, this collaboration not only aligns with Uptown Tower’s LEED Gold certification but also reinforces our dedication to advancing sustainable practices across our districts.”
