Advanced Technology Investment Company to locate in HQ

The Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC), a specialist investment company created by the Government of Abu Dhabi to focus on investments in the advanced technology sector, has announced today that it will move its head office to the renowned "HQ Building" created by Aldar.

ATIC has leased 6840sqm of space in the HQ building in Al Raha Beach. HQ was created by Aldar, Abu Dhabi's leading property development, management and investment company. ATIC will take two and a half floors in this premium office building at the gateway of Abu Dhabi.

HQ building is the latest addition to a world-class portfolio of commercial properties that are owned and managed by Aldar. It offers International Grade A specification fit-out and a range of integrated tenant services and there will be a comprehensive range of facilities that include a gym, numerous food and beverage outlets, convenience stores and restaurants.

Advanced negotiations are being concluded on a substantial proportion of the 23-floor building. Access to HQ from the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway is now complete with the opening of the two main intersections allowing easy access in both directions.

"As a company focused on creating an advanced technology ecosystem in Abu Dhabi supported by global partners, ATIC is pleased to move into such a sophisticated structure as HQ," said Asmahanne Ibrahim, manager of administration and services for ATIC. "HQ's access to major infrastructure facilities and its iconic shape - akin to a semiconductor wafer - will provide our partners and customers a warm welcome to Abu Dhabi. Finally, its high-quality open-plan office space and spacious column-free areas enable us to be very flexible and fit out the space according to our needs."

Rami Nasser, Director of Sales &Commercial Leasing, of Aldar, commented:
"We are excited to be able to provide a base like HQ for world-class companies such as ATIC, an organisation with ambitions to become world-leaders in their sectors and we believe that the quality of HQ supports these goals."
