TRANSCRIPT
Central Market holds a special place in Abu Dhabi’s history. For more than 40 years it was a thriving souq, the centre
of trade and a focal point for citizens and tourists to purchase supplies, explore the sights or simply pass time.
As Abu Dhabi grows into a modern metropolis, the heart of the city needs to keep pace with the progress surrounding it now.
ALDAR restores Central Market to its former glory.
POINTING THE WAY
Just as it was in the 60’s, Central
Market will again be the focal point
of business and social life in Abu Dhabi.
As the most stylish of landmarks, it will
redefine the image, modern capability
and attractiveness of Abu Dhabi.
Situated at the intersection of Khalifa
Street, Airport Road and Hamdan
Street, Central Market is in the heart
of the city and easily accessible with
5,250 parking spots. It is composed
of three ultra-modern towers, a retail
and leisure area, along with a mosque
and a plaza.
The three towers include a 52-storey
five-star luxury hotel with 250 rooms
and 200 serviced apartments,
a 58-storey office tower (WorkCentral)
and an 88-storey residential tower
(LiveCentral) with 525 apartments.
The spacious retail and leisure
area (ShopCentral) is composed
of high-end retail outlets, boutiques,
restaurants, bars, cafés, a wide range
of entertainment venues and a four-star
business hotel with approximately 120
rooms. Bridging the retail and leisure
area is a traditional Arabian souq.
The mosque can house 1,200 males
and 300 females, for a total capacity
of 1,500.
