DP World has unveiled the design for its new global head office coming up at Expo City Dubai.

The move to Expo City is part of the company’s journey from a local port operator in 1972 to a global supply chain solutions provider, transforming how the world trades.

DP World has been based in Jebel Ali, at the heart of its port and free zone operations since it was established under its current name in September 2005.

Announcing its elaborate plans, DP World said the relocation of its global head office to Expo City Dubai marks the latest milestone in its 50-year journey, as it continues to expand its global supply chain solutions.

Spread over a 37,000 sq m area, the new head office is a nine-storey tower that will be able to accommodate 800 of its staff members and also provide a platform for clients and partners to engage directly with DP World’s portfolio – across ports and terminals, marine services, logistics and technology.

The Dubai group said the first two floors are dedicated to engaging external stakeholders and visitors – with space for casual meetings and dining to the highest-level VIP meeting rooms and facilities.

Dubai-based DEC Dynamic Design Studio has been signed up to create a facility that reflects DP World’s vision for the future of global trade, combining functionality, sustainability and aesthetics.

The building also includes an automated parking area, showcasing DP World’s commitment to technological advancement in every aspect of its work.
