Project name: Ciel Tower
Height: 373.5 m
Gross floor area: 102,000 m²
Developer: The First Group
Architect: NORR Group Consultants International Limited
Main contractor: China Railway 18th Bureau Group
Curtain-wall contractor: Shenyang Yuanda Aluminum Industry Engineering Co., Ltd.
Aluminum extrusion supplier: Guangdong Haomei New Materials Co., Ltd.
Occupying a 3,662 m² plot, the hotel delivers 102,000 m² of built area across 82 floors. It houses 1,042 luxury guest suites and 150 upscale residences, complemented by three signature restaurants, a 306 m-high infinity pool, a sky-view bar at 353 m, a full-service spa, and a 12-storey-high atrium sky garden—an ensemble of ultra-premium amenities.
Pushing a super-tall structure to its limits demands core building materials that deliver cutting-edge performance. Ciel Tower must withstand violent high-altitude winds, extreme heat, humidity and salt, while also meeting the structural demands of long-span features and an accelerated construction schedule. Haomei New Materials—ranked among China’s top-ten architectural-aluminium extruders—supplied the premium aluminium profiles that proved critical to solving these challenges.
For the tower’s 373.5 m height and stringent wind-resistance criteria, Haomei delivered 6063-T6 high-strength alloy profiles whose strength markedly exceeds that of standard sections. This ensures the curtain-wall system remains stable under severe wind loads and provides the structural support required for the 15 m-span sky garden. To cope with Dubai’s aggressive coastal climate, the profiles receive a special corrosion-protection treatment and pass the neutral salt-spray test, effectively resisting salt-laden, high-humidity attack and extending the building’s service life.
