Upcoming Projects

Masdar City Square is a cluster of seven commercial buildings with a gross floor area of 50,000 square meters. The development has been designed holistically, to encourage a sense of community and common purpose.

All seven buildings, including the HQ building, are on track to be rated LEED Platinum, WELL Gold, and Estidama 4-Pearls. The focal point is the net-zero energy corporate HQ building, the first of its kind in Abu Dhabi.

Masdar City Square HQ facts:

• The HQ building will feature a distinctive canopy of 1,033 PV panels that will provide shade and generate renewable energy.
• The panels will be oriented to the south and angled at 22 degrees to maximize solar gain.
• The building is designed to reduce energy use by 102 percent compared to international baselines and produce 109 percent of its annual energy needs.
• It is on track to be rated Zero Energy (International Living Future Institute).

The Link is a cluster of five commercial and residential buildings with the gross floor area of 30,000 square meters. It has been designed to form a thriving mini-community of offices, residences, gathering spaces, and retail.

All five buildings are on track to be rated LEED Platinum, WELL Gold, and Estidama 4-Pearls. Its focal point is the CO-LAB building, a net-zero energy shared working and living space. Perhaps our most ambitious project yet, it will be the first building of its kind in the region.

CO-LAB facts:

• CO-LAB is designed to reduce energy use by 117 percent compared to international baselines and produce 135 percent of its annual energy needs.
• It is on track to be rated Zero Energy (International Living Future Institute).
• It is projected to produce 233,696 kWh of excess clean energy every year, to be fed into the local grid.
• This is equivalent to offsetting 129,935 kgCO2e of carbon emissions annually.
• At this rate, CO-LAB will offset all its upfront embodied carbon within 22.5 years, effectively achieving net-zero carbon.
