Aldar Properties has completed the acquisition of International Tower, an office tower located in Capital Gate district of Abu Dhabi for AED658 million. International Tower comprises 39,000 sqm NLA of Grade A commercial space and will immediately contribute to Aldar’s net operating income supported by a strong mix of existing tenants and robust occupancy.
Commenting on the acquisition, Talal Al Dhiyebi, Chief Executive Officer of Aldar Properties, said, "The acquisition of International Tower clearly demonstrates our belief in the strength of Abu Dhabi’s commercial real estate market. With a strong mix of existing tenants, this grade A office tower will make an immediate contribution to net operating income, in line with our strategy to grow recurring income from our portfolio of high-quality assets. Supported by our strong balance sheet, we will continue to assess the market for opportunities that will further drive growth of our portfolio."
In addition to the acquisition of International Tower, Aldar also recently announced it will retain a proportion of the Water’s Edge residential development for its asset management portfolio. These announcements demonstrate Aldar’s ambition to further invest in developing a world class, high-quality asset management portfolio.
