Mixed-Use | Retail | Office | Resdential | 109,000 m2
Rising 50 stories above the Corniche Road and Arabian Gulf in Abu Dhabi, Al Khubeirah Tower offers a mix of uses – retail, office and residential – in an elegantly simple, undulating tower design that presents spectacular views from all sides.
The tower’s playful form with varying horizontal bands encircling each floor provides continuous balconies for the tower’s residential floors, while also screening the sun for the office levels. At night the bands will be softly illuminated creating a graceful sculpture of alternating “bands of light” against the sky.
Simply organized, the main entrances for office and residential users are at grade, along with access to parking, loading, a double-height lobby and retail floor. There are three below-grade floors of parking for office users and five above-lobby parking levels for residents. The tower’s 14 floors of office space and 27 floors of residential apartments are separated by the principal mechanical floor. In tune with its surroundings, the combined height of the tower’s office and podium levels roughly aligns with the tops of future nearby 20-story structures, while the remaining 27 residential stories gently spiral above this baseline.
Office workers can enjoy a rooftop terrace area atop the parking podium, while other amenities include a health club and outdoor pool at the very top of the building for residents.
