No.0013 - Al Omaira Building, Hamdan Bin Mohammed Street, Abu Dhabi
The Al Omaira building is a residential tower built some time in the 1980’s, its designer unknown. Located at the intersection of Hamdan Street and Al Zahiya Street, the building holds a prominent location at one of the main entry points (from Saadiyat Island, Yas Island and Dubai) into the heart of the city centre. Despite its inferior size when compared to its more modern shiny neighbors, its striking green and white geometric facade ensures it stands out.
