DMCC and REIT Development announced today the launch of the landmark Crypto Tower in Dubai’s Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT). This 17-story project will support DMCC’s rapidly expanding community of blockchain, DeFi and Web3 companies, bolstering its status as a global hub for innovation and advanced technologies.
Complementing the DMCC Crypto Center’s existing headquarters in Uptown Tower, the new tower will add to DMCC’s ecosystem with an advanced space fostering innovation, collaboration and business growth.
“The launch of Crypto Tower is both a real-world demonstration of the future of Web3, where transparency and ownership are ensured by blockchain technology, as well as a statement of our intent as we continue to consolidate Dubai’s position as the world’s leading innovation hub,” stated Ahmed Bin Sulayem, executive chairman and CEO, DMCC.
Over 150,000 square feet of leasable space
DMCC’s Crypto Tower will feature cutting-edge infrastructure and state-of-the-art facilities, seamlessly integrated with advanced AI solutions powered by Chatoshi.ai. With over 150,000 square feet of leasable space, the tower will feature nine floors of advanced offices tailored for crypto startups and established businesses. Three additional floors will support blockchain incubators, venture capital firms and investment companies, while a dedicated floor will cater to artificial intelligence (AI) innovation, powered by Chatoshi.ai.
“With over 150,000 square feet of leasable space, including nine office floors, three dedicated floors for blockchain incubators, an AI innovation floor, a crypto club, gold bullion shop and vault storage area, the tower will provide a range of cutting-edge facilities and services for the benefit of our members,” added Bin Sulayem.
DMCC will use blockchain technology to streamline tenant interactions and transactions through the use of on-chain voting mechanisms, shared resources, smart contracts and other automated services. In doing so, the tower will build greater trust and transparency and reduce administrative load, setting a new standard in community decision-making and management.

Every expense is on-chain, setting a new standard for transparency in the industry,” stated Brenda Stratton, communications director, REIT Development.
In addition to the core facilities on offer, the Crypto Tower will include high-end features such as an NFT art gallery, a gold bullion shop, an exotic car dealership and a dedicated vault storage area offering 5,000 square feet of secure space for valuables including gold, cash and cold wallets.
This multifunctional development will set a new standard for integrating technology, finance and lifestyle into one space, creating a seamless and secure environment for the world’s leading crypto players.
