Façade completed as Dubai Arena prepares for 2019 opening

Dubai - The arena will be able to accommodate 17,000 visitors.

Meraas has announced that the active-lit façade at Dubai Arena is completed, with the panelled structure now fully installed. Work on external infrastructure and landscaping, including paving and parking spaces, are also under way, while the finishing touches are being made to the first of 46 hospitality suites.
With a capacity to accommodate 17,000 visitors, the venue will be able to host many events all year-round. Located at City Walk, Dubai Arena has been designed to be able to host end-stage, central and half-stage concerts, sporting events such as tennis, basketball, boxing, volleyball and ice hockey, and gala dinners, exhibitions and conferences and festivals.
Major milestones reached to date, include completion of the roof, façade steel structure and over 80 percent of the roof catwalks - elevated service platforms common in major theatres and arenas. All concrete, structural and the block works have been finished and the installation of arena seating is underway, while the arena's rigging equipment, scoreboards, lighting and sound system will start to be fitted from next month.
