Al Maryah Tower Guide: Design, Offices, Amenities, and Area

Al Maryah Tower is a 24-storey office building located in the reputed Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi, within ADGM. This iconic commercial property, which stands 120 metres tall, was developed for Al Hilal Bank. The Tower combines a bold yet contemporary style that shifts in massing as it rises. 

Completed in 2015, Al Maryah Tower has quickly become one of the most sought-after addresses for businesses and professionals. Designed by Goettsch Partners (GP), it represents a striking symbol of modernity and innovation at the heart of Abu Dhabi's business district. 

The architects were offered the task of designing a commercial building for a large and progressive financial institution, and to attract leading national and global companies with Grade A office space of an international quality. 

Today, Al Maryah Tower sits within the expanded Abu Dhabi Global Market jurisdiction, which covers both Al Maryah Island and Al Reem Island. Spanning 14.38 million square metres, ADGM continues to expand as a major international financial centre. 

Key Highlights of Al Maryah Tower 

Design Elements Of Al Maryah Tower 

The building rises above a six-level podium and features column-free floor plates with floor-to-ceiling glass. Its design combines functional office space with a distinctive architectural form that sets it apart within the surrounding commercial district.

The upper structure is composed of three glass-and-metal cubic volumes that are offset from one another to create the appearance of sliding blocks. Vertical glass fins and orange accents within the recessed areas between the volumes add visual definition to the façade and create changing lighting effects after dark.

The podium incorporates retail space, a three-storey transparent lobby on the northern side, and pedestrian arcades along the eastern and western sides. Recessed corners further shape the podium and contribute to the building's distinctive appearance.

Along the western façade, Al Maryah Tower features a landscaped park with seating and a water feature. The shaded outdoor space provides an area for people to walk, sit, and take a break from the surrounding commercial environment. 

Focus on Sustainability 

Al Maryah Tower incorporates several sustainability measures across its energy, water, and building-management systems. The building achieved an Estidama 1 Pearl rating, with its original design incorporating features intended to reduce energy and water consumption. 

Energy-Efficient Design

The tower's original MEP design incorporated exterior shading, high-performance glazing, and energy-efficient components for lighting, heating, cooling, pumps, and fans. These measures contributed to an estimated 12% energy saving as part of the building's original performance baseline.

The aluminium-and-glass curtain wall includes vertical glass fins and notched metal-spandrel elements that provide additional shading while allowing substantial natural light into the office spaces.

Water Management

Al Maryah Tower uses low-flow fixtures, metering faucets, and dual-flush toilets in its common restrooms to reduce potable water consumption. Air-conditioning condensate is also recovered and reused for park irrigation, while selected shrubs and trees require relatively little water and provide additional shade.

Building Monitoring

Extensive electrical metering is installed across the building's energy distribution levels to monitor electricity consumption and generation. The metering systems communicate with the Building Automation System (BAS), supporting ongoing monitoring and identifying opportunities for further optimisation.

Recent Sustainability Improvements

Beyond its original Estidama 1 Pearl rating, Al Maryah Tower has undergone a comprehensive MEP and HVAC retrofit to modernise key building infrastructure and improve its overall energy performance. The upgrade was recognised with Retrofit Project of the Year awards at both the CIBSE MENA Awards and MEP Middle East Awards in 2025.
