And in these ever-changing environs – most of the buildings now comprising Abu Dhabi’s skyline have proliferated in barely ten years – Porcelanosa Group has wanted to be present. For that purpose, it has signed a joint venture with Galaxy Building Material LLC in the Arab Emirates, a Capital Investment’s and Sorouh Real Estate’s investee company that supplies a wide range of materials for the construction industry. In addition, in one of the busiest areas of the centre of Abu Dhabi, Galaxy is building a shop exclusively devoted to Porcelanosa Group products. As part of this cooperation agreement, the products from Porcelanosa have been chosen for renowned projects such as those of the Gate Towers and the Shining Towers. The Gate Towers, which will provide the city with a new style of urban life in which modern comfort and natural lifestyle combine, will boast an imposing architecture design and with an unsurpassable location. Quality high end offices, luxurious apartments, and exclusive penthouses, they all will cater, in sum, for the most demanding needs. The project is divided into: Residential Tower, with 65 residential floors, including penthouses; Residential Arc, with 17 residential floors; Business Tower, with 55 office floors, and different leasable areas. In turn, the Shining Towers have been conceived as a pair of dancers moving together without touching, as each of them appears to lean in two directions: sideways and towards one another. The shorter one, a concrete frame structure of 33 floors, holds apartments, and the taller one, 42 floors built with a steel frame, houses offices. Both buildings will be fully glazed. A three-floored podium and three basement levels – devoted to leisure facilities and car parking – link the two towers. Concrete cores and shear walls largely provide for stability. The building project is scheduled to be completed in 2012. / LEFT Infographic image portraying the future Gate Towers offices – they will occupy the Business Tower, with a total of 55 floors.
