Sowwah Square comprises four international Grade A office towers, providing

a total of 180,000 sqm of premium commercial space and is already home to a

dynamic mix of blue-chip tenants.

development strategically located at the junction of Mina Zayed, Saadiyat

Island, Al Reem Island and the existing downtown area of Abu Dhabi Island.

Modeled on the world’s leading mixed-use business districts, Sowwah Island

has been designed to create a 24 hour CBD and is set to become a vibrant

mix of business, residential, retail and leisure communities, connecting people

and creating a unique urban experience for those who expect an unparalleled

Sowwah Square is the commercial core of Sowwah Island, creating a strong business and hospitality hub for the island and setting new standards for Abu Dhabi real estate.

Four architecturally distinguished 30-36 storey Grade A landmark towers provide 180,000 sqm of column-free, flexible, highly efficient and specified office space.

The four commercial towers encircle the new headquarters of the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) and allow direct access to The Galleria at Sowwah Square, a two-level podium boasting approximately 33,000 sqm of luxury retail space.

Its waterfront location will provide public areas for tenants and visitors and a 5.4 km pedestrian friendly corniche around the island. It will link with neighboring developments via a dedicated network of underground climate controlled, retail lined pedestrian corridors and is flanked by two luxury business hotels, that will provide convenient accommodation and amenities for Sowwah Square’s mix of global companies.

Sowwah Square is the first integrated development in Abu Dhabi to achieve LEED Core and Shell Gold Pre-Certification.

The first tower of Sowwah Square was handed over in March 2011 and the remaining three towers will be delivered in the second quarter of 2011.

Abu Dhabi is a dynamic, modern work city in a globally strategic inter-continental position that makes it increasingly attractive to international corporations, business visitors and tourists.

a GLoBaL CeNTer a GrowING NaTIoN

Abu Dhabi covers 85 percent of the UAE’s land mass (67,340 sq km) and owns 95 percent of the country’s oil (and 92 percent of its gas). Its capital, Abu Dhabi city, is one of the world’s wealthiest oil-rich cities (GDP of $98 billion/per capital worth: $17 million).

A dynamic, modern, world city, Abu Dhabi is now diversifying its economy away from a reliance on the oil industry and into cultural, recreational and business sectors. Increasing numbers of global organizations are making Abu Dhabi their Middle Eastern destination of choice. More than 50 international embassies are based in the city.

In a billion-dollar investment in transport and infrastructure, a mass transit system will connect commercial and residential areas of the city by metro, tram and Light Rail Transit (LRT) lines. The proposed Abu Dhabi Metro system will provide rapid transit to all urban areas of the emirate, with a primary route passing through Sowwah Island from east to west. A network of LRT and metro routes will cover the city, with two lines bisecting Sowwah Island.

Sowwah Island was chosen for its pivotal role in the economic, social and environmental regeneration of Abu Dhabi because of its unique location at the city’s core. It is linked both to the capital’s existing downtown business district and the new growth areas by a comprehensive transport system that integrates every aspect of the island into the city’s highly developed road, rail and air infrastructure. Thirteen bridges will link the island with the region’s national and international transport network. The airport will be 30 minutes by road and Dubai around 60 minutes.

Abu Dhabi’s key development areas currently are:

• SowwahIsland:designatedasAbuDhabi’sCentralBusinessDistrict(CBD)

• SaadiyatIsland:culturalinitiativetoattractgloballyrecognizedbrands to the city such as the Louvre and Guggenheim

There has been a significant investment in Sowwah Island’s infrastructure that has created a Middle East first – a radical multi-tiered network of roads, cycleways and walkways.

Sowwah Island is built on a 14.25 m podium, with roads laid out on two levels, separating general through traffic, local and pedestrian passes and residential and service access. Pavements, lobbies and pedestrian access are all above ground and utilities, storage and maintenance are accessed from below.

The new bridges and highways combined with generous parking will make traveling by road easy and convenient.

Climate controlled, shop-lined underground passageways will create a pleasant environment for pedestrians, who will be able to cover the entire island on foot and will connect every part of the island: transport hubs, shopping malls, leisure venues.

The focal point of that integrated network is the 450,000 sqm Sowwah Square complex of commercial towers and luxury retail, international hotels and the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange.
