Harborview Business Hub

Modern Waterfront Commercial Complex

Abu Dhabi, Al Maryah Island Waterfront

The waterfront condition plays a central role in shaping the identity of Harborview Business Hub. The building massing steps and curves along the edge of the water, allowing uninterrupted visual and physical access to the shoreline while framing a sequence of public plazas, terraces, and waterfront rooms. These spaces are designed to support informal meetings, cultural events, and moments of pause within the daily rhythm of a working district.

Landscape strategies reinforce the project’s civic ambition. Palm lined promenades, planted terraces, and shaded seating zones soften the urban edge and create a comfortable microclimate, enhancing walkability throughout the year. The integration of green roofs and planted surfaces contributes to environmental performance while visually extending the landscape across the architecture.

At the ground level, active frontages animate the promenade with cafés, restaurants, and retail spaces that engage both office users and the broader public. This permeability between private work environments and public life strengthens the social and economic vitality of the waterfront, transforming it into a destination beyond standard business hours.

Architecturally, the project emphasizes lightness and transparency. Layered façades and fluid canopy forms filter daylight, reduce glare, and establish a dynamic visual relationship between interior workspaces and the surrounding city and water. At night, the building becomes a softly illuminated landmark, reinforcing its presence along Al Maryah Island’s waterfront skyline.

Harborview Business Hub functions as more than a commercial development. It operates as an urban connector that links finance, culture, leisure, and public life while contributing a distinct civic space to Abu Dhabi’s evolving waterfront. Through the integration of architecture, landscape, and public realm, the project supports a contemporary vision of work, community, and shared urban experience within a global business district.
