Engie Solutions, a global leader in integrated facilities management (FM) services, has signed a three-year agreement with Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) to provide comprehensive FM services for the prestigious Uptown Tower in Uptown Dubai.

 

The 340-m Uptown Tower, a LEED Gold-certified development, is one of Dubai’s most sophisticated mixed-use facilities. The tower encompasses 22 floors of premium Grade A commercial space, the luxurious SO/Uptown Dubai hotel spanning 10 floors, and 225 exclusive branded residences on the top 28 floors. 

 

The building is further enhanced by 4,750 sq m of prime F&B and retail space through the multi-storey Atrium as well as the Plaza, complemented by extensive parking facilities.

 

As the incumbent service provider, Engie Solutions brings an understanding of the facility’s unique requirements. The scope of services incorporates mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems management, along with specialized technical services vital to maintaining the building’s world-class standards, the company said.

In demonstrating its commitment to long-term partnership and sustainability, Engie Solutions will provide several premium services at no additional cost to DMCC. The company will implement its proprietary ‘Smart O&M’ technology platform and conduct detailed ASHRAE Energy Audits, providing actionable recommendations for enhanced efficiency. A dedicated energy management team will regularly provide consultancy services while supporting the maintenance of the facility’s prestigious LEED GOLD Operations certification. Through these initiatives, Engie Solutions commits to achieving a 10% reduction in energy consumption at the site, it said.
