The construction of the first four-star hotel in Mirdif continues despite the disruptions caused by the coronavirus, Dubai Investments said on Tuesday.

The Millennium & Copthorne Hotels and Resorts, which will feature 116 hotel rooms and 128 serviced apartments, is one of the commercial properties being developed within the Al Mutaqa Avenue in Mirdif Hills.

Designed to revitalize Mirdif’s business scene, the commercial segment of the Al Mutaqa Avenue project also includes the construction of the first freehold office and retail spaces in the neighborhood, which is adjacent to Mushrif Park and not far from Dubai International Airport. 

“Construction of the commercial spaces within the Al Mutaqa Avenue, Mirdif Hills is progressing steadily and is set to revitalize Mirdif’s commercial landscape,” Dubai Investments said in a statement. 

According to Obaid Al Salami, general manager of Dubai Investments Real Estate Company (DIRC), the commercial spaces will provide a new experience for residents and shoppers not only within Mirdiff Hills but also within the Mirdif area.

“We conceptualized Al Mutaqa Avenue to be the commercial hub within the Mirdif Hills project where the residents could benefit from the true essence of living within a mixed-use development,” said Al Salami.

Dubai Investments, however, did not provide details as to when the hotel and other commercial spaces will be completed.

While the UAE’s construction sector was exempted from the coronavirus lockdown in March, industry sources said developers and contractors have had to deal with sluggish civil works, delayed delivery of materials and limited workforce.
