Aldar headquarters building is the first circular building of its kind in the Middle East. The distinctive building was voted the “Best Futuristic Design” by The Building Exchange (BEX) Conference held in Spain. The shape of this building is achieved through the use of structural diagrid, a diagonal grid of steel.[3]
The building features the following elevators:
- 12 passenger elevators
- 2 service elevators
- 3 mono space elevators
- 1 circular hydraulic lift
- 2 dumbwaiters
- hotel suites
- restaurants

The extent that the circle is embedded in the ground was designed around the golden ratio.[5]
