The 35-storey 160m Capital Gate (http://www.capitalgate.ae) offers approximately 15,000sqm of Grade A+ office space. The tower will also house the 5-star Hyatt Capital Gate hotel - Abu Dhabi's very first Hyatt property, occupying an area in excess of 25,000sqm.

Capital Gate's office space is available on a shell-and-core basis to tenants, with NFA (net floor area) varying between 994sqm to 1,056sqm per floor. Luxuriously elegant communal areas are provided, offering the very best in contemporary Arabian design. Additionally, Capital Gate tenants will be presented with sweeping views over the Arabian Gulf, Abu Dhabi Island, the Mangroves, Yas and Saadiyat Island.

"ADNEC is delighted to bring to the Abu Dhabi market the superior Grade A+ commercial space within this iconic building. Capital Gate forms the focal point of a world-class business district; we believe the tower holds incredible appeal for local and international businesses seeking a prestige address within an established location in the UAE capital," said His Excellency Ali Saeed Bin Harmal Al Dhaheri, Managing Director of ADNEC

The visually stunning tower has been built using some of the world's most advanced construction techniques and leans an astonishing 18-degree westward. It holds the Guinness Record for 'world's furthest leaning manmade tower,' and was recently the focus of an hour-long documentary on National Geographic Channel broadcast in more than 166 countries to an estimated television audience of more than 200 million.

The tower's appeal however, goes far beyond being an engineering marvel explains Simon Horgan, ADNEC Group CEO.

"Capital Gate is inter-connected with the thriving Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre which hosted 148 events in 2010. Capital Gate tenants will only be a short walk away from a number of business and entertainment events which relate directly to their business - a case of being at the heart of the action, while also having the added conveniences that come with being located within a well-planned destination. Facilities such as access to a fully-serviced Abu Dhabi International Airport check-in, ample covered parking, advanced road and transport links, the very best meeting and conferencing facilities, and a superb range of F&B options combined with the fact that Capital Gate is located in the Embassies district - a very well developed and established area of the UAE capital, will provide a compelling proposition to potential tenants".

A number of other commercial towers, hotels, restaurants, clubs, residential and services apartment complexes will be part of Capital Centre, ADNEC's master-planned micro-city that is under development in the immediate vicinity to Capital Gate.

Capital Gate's location-attractiveness is accentuated with its proximity to Al Bateen Executive Airport, twofour54, Abu Dhabi Golf Course, Abu Dhabi International Airport, Downtown Abu Dhabi, The Corniche, Al Raha and Yas Island, all of which are between 10-20 minutes away, with Dubai and Al Ain, within an hour's driving distance.
