About the place

Wind turbines span the gap between the commercial towers, integrating renewable power generation directly into the skyscraper design.

Architectural practice Atkins designed the twin-tower commercial complex with integrated wind turbines suspended along connecting skybridges. Danish engineering firm Norwin A/S developed, built, and installed the turbine units. The project secured the international LEAF Award for Best Use of Technology within a Large Scheme alongside regional honors for sustainable design from the Arab Construction World.

The complex stands beside King Faisal Highway, positioning corporate offices near landmark neighbors including the Bahrain Financial Harbour, NBB, and Abraj Al Lulu. The towers rank behind the Bahrain Financial Harbour in overall national height. Commuters relying on the adjoining highway corridor experience heavy vehicle flow during peak morning and evening business hours, shaping daily office schedules.
