Iconic in stature; the centrepiece of the City of Lights

A 60-storey skyscraper soaring above Abu Dhabi’s City of Lights, Addax Tower sets a precedent for commercial office space in the UAE. Office floor plates are uniquely designed as column-free offerings, while the structure is constructed from reinforced, post-tensioned concrete, with the striking linear façade made purely from aluminium and glass.

Addax Tower provides expansive views across the Al Reem Island waterfront, and is located just a kilometre from the central business district in Abu Dhabi. The development itself rests upon a six-level podium, with three basement levels contributing to more than 1,100 parking spaces.

BSBG oversaw the complete design and delivery of the 266-metre tower (BUA - 146,850m²) under a Design & Build contract, also providing interior design services for all public lobby areas.

“Addax Tower is certainly imposing, and dominates the Abu Dhabi skyline. Yet, despite its scale, it's strikingly elegant in form.”
