• The new development underscores Yas Island’s position as one of the UAE’s most strategic locations for global brands
  • It also highlights Aldar’s position as partner of choice for clients seeking build to suit real estate in the UAE

Abu Dhabi, UAE: Aldar announced today plans to deliver the UAE’s first Tesla Experience Centre on Yas Island. The build-to-suit facility will bring together a showroom, service centre and delivery hall into a single integrated site.

This development further enhances Yas Island’s growing reputation as one of the UAE’s most strategic locations for global brands to have a presence, and reflects Aldar’s position as a partner of choice for international clients seeking prime build-to-suit real estate in the UAE.  

Developed across a leasable area of more than 5,000 sqm, the facility is designed to deliver an elevated customer experience and optimise operational efficiency, strengthening Tesla’s local presence and supporting its long-term growth strategy in the UAE.

Jassem Saleh Busaibe, Chief Executive Officer at Aldar Investment, said: “This build-to-suit development for one of the world's most recognisable brands represents another step in the evolution of Aldar’s industrial and logistics offerings. It reflects the confidence global companies have in Aldar as a partner of choice, and in Yas Island as a strategic base for long-term growth.”

Pawel Trzpis, General Manager at Tesla Middle East, said: “We are excited to expand our operations in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, with our first purpose-built site. We look forward to welcoming our current and future customers to experience this site upon its public opening. This milestone solidifies our focus and commitment to expanding in the region.”

The centre will feature 170 dedicated parking spaces equipped with 20 V4 Tesla Supercharger stalls, complementing the full suite of integrated services offered on-site.

The facility will target Estidama 3 Pearl rating and incorporates Net Zero-aligned design principles, including high-efficiency Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning systems, low-emission materials, rooftop solar power, LED lighting, and rainwater recycling systems to support landscaping and facility operations.

Strategically located along the E12 with excellent connections to Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the new Tesla centre will be completed by 2027.
