The Al Hekma Tower, measuring 283m (928 ft) in height, is the tallest building that CSCEC has built to date in the UAE, along Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
[5] The construction of the building is dedicated to the memory of Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
[6] The project had been running smoothly until February 2012 when it was suddenly halted as Pearl Properties wanted to take a look at introducing some major design changes, including turning it into a hotel.
The tower had already topped out in July 2011 which was about 16 months after the core wall, columns and slabs were first erected at a rate of one level a week.
[7] Sheikh Issa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan's holding company Pearl Properties manage the development of the building.
