Once the United Tower is compared to a drill bit, it's hard to see anything else. In fact, save for a few points of perspective in the immediate surroundings, a person might very well mistake the building for the handyman tool each and every time he or she sets eyes on it. The United Tower's spiralling form is strikingly distinct.
Located in Bahrain Bay, the United Tower was recently completed this year. It will be home to a 5-star hotel, Wyndham Grand Collection Manama, as well as some commercial office and retail space. Steve Mayes, director, sales & agency, CBRE Bahrain, says, "United Tower is a landmark development in the Kingdom and with its prime location at the Bahrain Bay waterfront community, and superior build quality, it is sure to attract high-profile occupiers. We look forward to working closely with the team to support and develop its long term strategies for the project."
