Abu Dhabi

Located on the Arabian Gulf, Abu Dhabi is the capital of the United Arab Emirates and is renowned for its cosmopolitan outlook. 

The city has undergone a period of rapid development and urbanisation which together with the relatively high average income of its population, has led to it becoming a vibrant, forward-looking place to live, work and play.

Abu Dhabi is also home to the country's political, commercial and industrial centre; Abu Dhabi has the largest economy in the UAE forecast to grow by 8% over the next year. It is therefore an ideal location for Buro Happold to deliver some of the region’s most iconic and complex buildings including the new Louvre, the Tameer Towers, the Saadiyat Island masterplan and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority Headquarters facility.
