Since 2005, Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates (TVS), the
Atlanta, Georgia-based architecture firm, has been collaborating with
Dubai Properties-a division of Dubai Holdings-on a project that is
aimed to create one of the region's premier locations for living and
working.
After being invited to, and winning, an international design
competition in Dubai in 2002, TVS recognised a burgeoning market in the
UAE and myriad possibilities throughout the region. When its winning
project design didn't come to fruition, TVS began pursuing other
projects in the area-namely designing and/or masterplanning Dubai Media
City, Dubai Expo Center, Dubai Sports City, Al Soufouh and the
spiralling, candle-flickering Dubai Towers-and shortly thereafter,
Dubai Properties contacted it about building Vision Tower, the gateway
to Business Bay.
Awarded to TVS in 2005, and designed to
incorporate 51 customised units in 500,000ft² of commercial space,
Vision Tower aims at being one of New Dubai's iconic structures.
Connected to Bay Avenue and several professional services via an
exclusive pedestrian bridge, Vision Tower, slated for completion in the
final quarter of 2008, will be Dubai Properties' only stand alone
office tower in a city desperate for freehold commercial space.
