Abu Dhabi Iconic Landmarks #1

The start of a mini series. Grabbed a shot of this on the way to Dubai (and before the rain).

Aldar HQ

Set upon an elevated peninsula with spectacular city and sea views, this is Arabia’s first circular building.

The 23-storey, 110-metre-high structure has been named by international building organisation Emporis as ‘One of the World’s Most Dazzling Corporate Offices’ – for its innovative design, visual impact and function.

At the 2008 Building Exchange Conference the building was also awarded ‘Best Futuristic Design’.
