Abu Dhabi's Trust Tower Starts Office Pre-Leasing Program Ahead of 2012 Completion

---

Abu Dhabi-based Aldar properties announced this week that Trust Tower, the latest of its commercial office developments, is now available for pre-lease. The building will be available for tenants to start their fit-out on a phased basis from November 2011 prior to officially opening in mid-2012.

Located in the heart of Abu Dhabi city, Trust Tower provides an ideal location for corporate tenants wishing to benefit from premises that blend commercial connectivity with the premium housing and a wide range of shops and facilities that will be on offer at Central Market in downtown Abu Dhabi.

The building offers 59-levels, 72,000m2 of flexible office space at the heart of Abu Dhabi. Its design allows tenants to occupy space at a density of 1:10, up to 40% more efficient than the average density for other grade A offices in Abu Dhabi, meeting the needs of tenants looking to maximize floor space in the current market.

Designed by leading British architect Lord Norman Foster, the building includes a number of distinctive features that fit the needs of demanding international corporations. These include an 'intelligent' façade that controls light levels into the building for cooling purposes; a state-of-the-art vertical transportation system with three banks of double-deck lifts  providing high-speed access for large numbers of occupants to all levels of the building; and flexibility in the ceiling design that enables tenants to efficiently customize their office space.

As one of the few buildings in Abu Dhabi that is designed to internationally accepted, Grade A standards, which enables incoming tenants to minimize both expenditure and time during their fit-out, Trust Tower once again demonstrates Aldar's credentials as a developer and commercial landlord of premium quality, practical office space.

"Trust Tower has been designed with efficiency and flexibility in mind to meet the needs of today's enterprise and demonstrates once again Aldar's track record of developing the highest quality commercial buildings in Abu Dhabi," said Rami Nasser, Director of Sales and Commercial leasing at Aldar Properties.
