Tameer Commercial Tower, High-rise office building in Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, UAE
Tameer Commercial Tower is an unfinished office skyscraper on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, designed by Gensler as the tallest of the five-building Tameer Towers complex. Its slender, tapering form has a dark, densely patterned facade of small repeating units split by a bright vertical white line, and the base widens into a triangular, pointed form above a horizontal lower level. The Arabic Wikipedia gives a height of 300 metres; construction stopped and the project was cancelled on 30 June 2017.
Construction of the Tameer Commercial Tower began in 2009 under developer Sorouh Real Estate, as the tallest of five buildings in the Tameer Towers project on Al Reem Island. Completion was expected in 2013, but work stalled; the project was cancelled on 30 June 2017. Buyers then pursued Tameer in Abu Dhabi's commercial court for five years over refunds.
The name Tameer means "development" in Arabic, fitting a project marketed as the crown jewel of the five-building Tameer Towers complex. The developer Sorouh Real Estate began the tower in 2009, and the wider complex was to hold a day care centre, guest suites, swimming pools and a gymnasium. Buyers later pursued Tameer in Abu Dhabi's commercial court over refunds.
The tower is unfinished and the project was cancelled on 30 June 2017, so there is no operating office space to enter. The site stands on Al Reem Island among other towers; the slender tapering shaft with its bright vertical white line is visible from the surrounding streets and plaza. Buyers pursued Tameer in Abu Dhabi commercial court for five years over refunds.
