The DIFC is a 110-acre free zone. It is the world's fastest growing international financial centre. The mission of the DIFC is to be a catalyst for regional economic growth, development and diversification by functioning as a globally recognized regional financial centre akin to the Wall Street in the US, the City of London in Europe and Hong Kong in the Asian economies. The DIFC, with its elaborate infrastructure and over 65 % of the site landscaped, will become a city within a city.

The design of the towers was inspired by the evolution of Dubai, and by the undulating soft forms of the desert. This duality is expressed in the two vertical solid fins representing the rigid urban form reaching into the sky, from which the curved expressive soft form of the tower façade is suspended. A unique four to six level podium will allow for interconnection of buildings throughout the site. With world-class offices, serviced apartments, shopping malls, parks and restaurants, DIFC promises a real 24/7 lifestyle. The inclusion of a museum, an art gallery and performing arts centre will add to DIFC’s attraction as a resort destination.
