## History

[edit]

In February 2007, the joint venture consisting of Consolidated Contractors International Company (CCC) and Al-Habtoor Engineering Enterprises was awarded the contract to build the Landmark tower. The design included about 70 floors and five basement levels, apartments, residential areas, offices, shops, restaurants, a sky garden and penthouses. The client of was the Department of President's Affairs, with construction to be finished by July 2010, with the contract for $381 million.[3] In August 2007, a new record was set in the AUE, for largest single concrete pouring, at Landmark Tower Project, with 16,000 cubic metres making it "one of the largest pourings of self compacting concrete anywhere in the world."[4]

The building was constructed over six years. At 330 metres tall, it had 31 floors for offices, 28 floors of apartments, five levels of underground parking, a fitness center, and restaurant. It also had a "sky garden" and pool. It was designed of Pelli Clarke Pelli, a firm in Connecticut, and drew "inspiration from a desert flower and the dodecagon."[5] Argentine architect Cesar Pelli was responsible for designing the skyscraper.[6]
