Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (Adia) Tower, which occupies a seafront location on Abu Dhabi Corniche, is nearing completion. The twin-tower project which rises to a height of 185 m. Over the past year, work has been progressing on cladding the tower in one of the most advanced curtain-walling systems in the region and on finishing works that merit its stature as a hi-tech building.

The project which provides a total floor area of 113,731 sq m, includes two slim-profiled high-rises – one 38 storeys high and the other 33 storeys with one basement level. This new headquarters building will offer 73,000 sq m of office space, arranged in two curved wings on each side of a 17-storey atrium. The atrium is a gathering place for meeting and exchanging ideas.

Billowing sails and shifting sand dunes have inspired the curving forms of the tower, which creates a new and dramatic profile on Abu Dhabi’s skyline. Standing adjacent to the towers is a seven-storey car-park, which will also house a rooftop leisure centre.
