Regus to open business centre in Bahrain tower

Regus, one of the world’s largest providers of workspace solutions, has signed an agreement with United Tower, a mixed-use skyscraper located within the master-planned Bahrain Bay, to operate its business centre in the facility. Leading global real estate consultant CBRE is the exclusive property management company for the United Tower. Strategically located, this landmark high-rise is designed as a twisting structure, rising from an octagonal floor plate, rotating counter clockwise, offering uninterrupted 360 degree views to its tenants and hotel guests. Easily accessible from the airport, the iconic structure is 50 floors and 200-m-high, situated in Bahrain Bay, in the heart of Bahrain’s central business district. Richard Botham, the senior director and general manager of CBRE Bahrain, said: "United Tower is an iconic addition to Manama’s developing skyline." "The commercial assets at the tower are competitively priced, versatile enough to suit the needs of most business models, offer stylish amenities and ample parking space," he noted. A major global player, Regus has a network of 2,850 locations in over 1,000 towns and cities, across 107 countries and serves 2.3 million members. Its centre in United Tower will be located on the 34th floor, offering wonderful sea views and outlooks towards Manama city. The global firm will operate a serviced office facility with 83 private offices and suites, along with a modern business lounge and co-working spaces. "CBRE is proud to include this remarkable building, which will accommodate international occupiers and local establishments, in our premium property portfolio. The addition of Regus will further diversify the solutions offered at the tower for businesses seeking smaller executive offices with flexible lease terms," stated Botham. Ahmed Al Qaed, the developer and owner of United Tower, said: "Our alliance with leading global real estate consultant CBRE and Regus will allow us to further extend our unique offering and turnkey solutions to businesses who seek prime quality office space." The building provides 26,000 sq m of commercial office space. It also accommodates the five-star Wyndham Grand Collection Hotel with 262 rooms and several luxury retail and F&B outlets, said the statement from CBRE.
