Hydra Properties has completed excavation work on what is being billed as the world's first tower exclusively for businesswomen, the Abu Dhabi-based developer said on Monday.

Eve's Tower, located within Dubai's Business Bay development, will be the first tower where only women can own office space.

Men will be allowed to work there, but women will be provided special facilities such as entrances, elevators and car parks.

Hydra CEO Sulaiman Al-Fahim told Arabian Business the project will "encourage entrepreneurship amongst women".

"This project will give women the chance and incentives to own their own office space," Al-Fahim said.

Hydra said piling work on the 20-storey tower is expected to start soon, with the project expected to be finished by 2010.

Eve's Tower is part of the Hydra Towers Project that comprises five, high-rise buildings at the centre of Business Bay.
