Yas Events’ Shams Tower opens for corporate bookings

ABU DHABI, April 23, 2015

Yas Events Centre’s Shams Tower, an environmentally sustainable, VVIP-standard meeting space, is now accepting corporate bookings.

Designed for the ruling family of the UAE as a private viewing platform at the heart of the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix circuit, Shams Tower was completed in 2009 for the inaugural race and offers one of the most unique and exclusive MICE space for hire in the Middle East, said a statement.

The exclusive ‘green’ venue rises 60 metres above the track offering a range of configuration options accommodating up to 100 guests, making it ideal for more intimate board meetings as well as larger, more inclusive gatherings, it said.

‘Shams’ means ‘sun’ in English and it features 2,500 sq m array of solar panels producing 450MW/h of electricity per year and connection to the Abu Dhabi Municipal grid ensures that all of the solar power produced is utilised fully.

The latest green technology offers a saving of 400 tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum, with the solar array ‘wings’ providing shaded parking underneath, allowing for use all year round.

In addition to the exclusivity of Shams Tower, and still at the heart of the track on top of the pit building, the prestigious Paddock Club offers spectacular circuit views for those looking to add the ‘wow factor’ to any corporate gathering.

Recently renovated due to increased demand for the Grand Prix, the Paddock Club expansion added an extra 2,000 sq m and can now offer 12 suites in a range of configurations to a maximum of 480 guests per suite. - TradeArabia News Service
