ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)
Aldar has announced plans to deliver the UAE’s first Tesla Experience Centre on Yas Island, bringing together a showroom, service centre and delivery hall under one roof.
The build-to-suit facility, spanning more than 5,000 sqm, is designed to enhance customer experience and improve operational efficiency, strengthening Tesla’s local presence and supporting its long-term growth strategy in the UAE.
“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,” a statement from Aldar said.
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, commented: “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 offer 170 dedicated parking spaces and 20 V4 Tesla Supercharger stalls, alongside a full suite of integrated services. The development also targets Estidama 3 Pearl rating and incorporates Net Zero-aligned features such as high-efficiency HVAC systems, low-emission materials, rooftop solar power, LED lighting and rainwater recycling systems.
Strategically located along the E12 highway, with direct links to both Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the facility is scheduled for completion in 2027.
