Skybridge Penthouses
21 skybridge penthouses are now on the market in Shams Abu Dhabi, following a launch at Cityscape Abu Dhabi. Located at the top of the 238m-high Gate Towers development by US firm Arquitectonica, the duplex penthouses offer residents unparalleled views over the Arabian Gulf and Al Reem Island.
Gate Towers is a 66-storey development comprised of three towers connected by a 300m-long skybridge. The design team took inspiration from historical structural forms such as Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England and the Roman Pantheon to create a commanding series of towers with a sky-bridge punctured by elliptical voids.
The complex is largely dedicated to residential use, with studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments split between the three towers. There are also a series of townhouses and penthouses which bring the total number of units to 3,533, with Tower 1 already fully occupied. Gurjit Singh, Chief Development Officer at Aldar Properties said: “The penthouse apartments are a unique investment proposition in Abu Dhabi. Shams Abu Dhabi is in a prime location that benefits from being next to the business district of Al Marayah Island, Repton School, as well as retail amenities such as Boutik Sun and Sky.”
Each penthouse includes a private pool with views over the Arabian Gulf. Additional swimming pools, play areas, childcare facilities, tennis courts, retail amenities, leisure and spa facilities, and prayer rooms are located elsewhere within the development.
