Focus on growth and global investment

Galadari said the new projects are an important step in delivering the authority’s expansion plan.

He said the developments will provide modern and sustainable facilities that support a fully integrated healthcare environment. This, he added, will help attract more international investment and support Dubai’s wider economic goals.

He also said the projects align with the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 strategy and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which aims to strengthen the emirate’s global standing.

PIXEL DHCC: A modern office space

PIXEL DHCC will be a nine-storey office building designed to meet high environmental standards, including LEED Platinum certification.

Covering around 13,000 square metres, the building will include flexible office spaces along with retail units on the ground floor.

The project is designed to support healthcare businesses and related industries by offering modern, adaptable workspace within the healthcare free zone.

IBN SINA+: A new medical complex

The second project, IBN SINA+, will be a dedicated medical facility linked to the existing Ibn Sina complex in the community.

Designed as a five-storey building, it will include space for surgeries, diagnostics, outpatient services and medical offices.

Covering about 5,800 square metres, the facility is expected to expand clinical capacity and improve access to healthcare services within DHCC.

To complement these developments, DHCA is also delivering supporting infrastructure to enhance accessibility and support the needs of the growing DHCC community.
