The document discusses the vision for Dubai's growth and transformation into a global commercial hub, with a focus on two new commercial tower developments - The Rawasi and The Nadra. It describes Dubai's history and strategic location, the vision of its leaders to transform the desert into a modern city. The Business Bay development will be a new commercial and business cluster along an extension of Dubai Creek. The Rawasi and Nadra towers will be landmark buildings located in the heart of Business Bay, close to new commercial and tourist developments. Both towers will provide modern, fully-finished office spaces and amenities for businesses.

2. The Vision
"My father, HH Sheikh Rashid, had a vision to take Dubai to a new level of growth and
development.”
- HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of
the UAE and Ruler of Dubai
In the beginning there was only the creek. Over the decades, Dubai has grown from
being just a trading port in the Gulf to the nerve centre of UAE’s growing worldwide
commercial success.
Strategically located between the developed West and the developing East, Dubai has
recently been transformed into a much sought after business and tourist destination, with
many international businesses preferring to base their regional headquarters here.
This rapidly growing accolade and growth of industrial and commercials hubs in the city is
a tribute to the vision of its leaders who had the foresight and acumen to transform the
vast stretches of the beautiful golden desert into a gleaming megapolis.
In keeping with this vision, Al Sharq Development introduces two new commercial units to
be located in the upcoming Business Bay of Dubai – The Rawasi and The Nadra.

3. The Location
The Business Bay is part of the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al
Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, to make the city a
global commercial and business centre. A new ‘city’ within the city of Dubai, the Business
Bay will be created as a commercial and business cluster along a new extension of the
Dubai Creek extending from Ras Al Khor to Sheikh Zayed Road.
Al Sharq Development’s Rawasi and Nadra are both located right in the heart of Business
Bay, which in itself is poised to become the commercial hub of Dubai. Just off the arterial
Sheikh Zayed Road and the upcoming Dubailand, both units are in close proximity to
Dubai’s upcoming commercial and tourist developments.

4. The Towers
The Rawasi and Nadra towers will form an integral part of the Business Bay’s striking
horizon. Exquisitely designed to look sleek and modern, yet appeal by retaining a
sensible commercial awareness in terms of capital and operation costs. Both towers are
located on a waterfront within Business Bay providing refreshing panoramic views and
peaceful ergonomic work areas for their occupants.

5. The Rawasi, sited at the terminus of the creek extension, will be a landmark building that
celebrates the spirited, adventurous, pace of daily life and commerce in Dubai. From the street, a
dynamically sculptural silhouette distinguishes itself upon approach as it reaches skyward.
Elegant folds compose the façade to capture and reshape light from every angle along its
shimmering facade.
A penetrating series of interior / exterior skins capitalise on the unique form to create a series of
distinctive public spaces throughout the scheme. At the ground, the interior and exterior skins peel
to create a dramatic atrium that flows seamlessly from the surrounding entrance plaza. Further up
the tower, a multi-storey destination sky garden encourages a sense of community within the
upper levels of the tower. The integration of gardens and atria into the planning of the building is
further reinforced as the building emerges from a prismatic podium, which wraps the tower. As the
tower steps forward on the site to participate in the busy street life, a contemplative courtyard
located in the shadow of the tower provides sanctuary within the bustle of Business Bay.

6. The tower will have four basements under a ground floor and mezzanine retail space, three layers
of podium parking and 25 floors of modern state-of-the-art office space. The offices come fully
finished with raised flooring, full decoration and will have access to all the necessary amenities that
the modern working environment demands.
The broad base of the tower will house cafes and restaurants, retail support services and
adequate parking for over 1900 cars.
General Amenities will include:
•Abusiness-conducive, multimedia -equipped Seminar and Conference Rooms
• e-Lounges for Networking and Business Meetings
• Member Workstations
• Document Centre
• Videoconferencing Facilities
• High-Speed Internet Access
• State-of-the-art Audio-Visual Equipment
• Concierge Services
• Housekeeping and Interior Decoration Services

7. Nadra means ‘rare’ in Arabic and the building has been designed precisely to echo similar
sentiments in those who view it. Definitely an eyebrow raising design, the Nadra Tower stands 30
floors above the ground in geometrically placed cuboid structures; Nadra - it stands out as one of
the few.
Far removed from usual building design, the Nadra Tower is a perfect harmony between design
and optimum utilisation of space for commercial establishments who require an address that is
both prestigious and easily identifiable.
The Nadra Tower will incorporate the finest building materials to provide quality office spaces that
last. The landscaping and building interiors provide the right ambience that continue to surprise
and appeal to those who have just seen the exterior design.
The tower will have two basements, one mezzanine, one retail floor, six parking levels under 20
floors of office space. The commercial space is for freehold sale in units from 750ft

8. The tower will house cafes and restaurants at the ground level and retail support services for
offices including documentation services, office supplies and reprographics.

900 parking spaces in two basements and five above-ground parking floors.
