Description
Mercedes-Benz city construction: how Dubai is building 12 towers, 13,000 apartments, and the world’s first car-branded city — for $8.2 billion, from the desert sand up.
The deal was signed at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart. Muhammad BinGhatti — the developer who already built with Bugatti and Jacob & Co — signed with Mercedes-Benz to build something no car brand had attempted before: not a tower. A city. 12 skyscrapers, each named after a Mercedes concept car, built across 836,000 square metres of Meydan desert, 8 minutes from the Burj Khalifa, completion 2029.
This documentary covers the full engineering and construction process — from the first pile drilled into the Nad Al Sheba desert to the last Mercedes star bolted by hand onto the final tower's corner column. The most detailed construction breakdown of Dubai's most ambitious branded development.
What's in this video:
How engineers drilled hundreds of piles 30 metres into Meydan desert for 12 towers simultaneously
How the circular Vision Iconic hub was engineered and built with 12 tower cranes surrounding it
How jump-form cores climbed one floor per day across all 12 towers at the same time
How Mercedes 'Sensual Purity' facade engineering was built in aluminium and chrome at skyscraper scale
How a precision-machined Mercedes star is craned 40 floors up and bolted to a corner column by hand
