retail outlets. Out of the 79 towers, 3 towers will be developed by the Dubai Multi
Commodities Centre. These are the Almas, Au and Ag Towers. The landmark Almas
Tower is the natural focal point of the development, situated on an island surrounded
by water in the centre of the community. The tower shall house the Dubai Diamond
Exchange and Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) member businesses in the
gold, diamond, energy and commodities industries.

of 79 towers stand tall in this prestigious project that will become one of Dubai’s most
recognised addresses, where property investors have been given the opportunity to own
and develop towers on a freehold basis.
