A private developer has acquired Dubai’s former ‘Big Ben’ tower from the Commercial Bank of Dubai for $120 million and is reviving the landmark under a new name, AHS Tower. The 70-floor building, rising over 200 metres, is located near DIFC, the Museum of the Future, Burj Khalifa, and the coastline, making it a highly strategic commercial address. The tower is being redeveloped into a premium office building and is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2027. As part of its transformation, the iconic clock feature will be removed and replaced with a modern facade to give the structure a fresh identity. Market response has been strong, with 95 percent of off-plan strata units sold within weeks of launch.
