The Al Salam Tecom Tower is a mixed-use building located within Dubai’s energetic Technology, Electronic, Commerce and Media (TECOM) Free Zone. This high-rise building is divided into three distinct vertical zones and is supported on a podium which extends from the ground level to the sixth floor. Accommodated within the podium is the entrance lobby, a retail mall, a food court, meeting rooms, a health club with lap pool and associated car parking facilities.

Moving upwards, the seventh to the 21st floors are devoted to 225 serviced apartments configured on five standard, seven deluxe and three presidential floors. Open plan offices occupy the remaining 23 floors terminating at the 46th floor immediately below the inclined roof. Projecting balconies and the inclined colour separation ‘drawn’ across the office façade add to the imagery of the tower.
