Abu Dhabi Plaza is a 500,000m2 mixed-use development in Astana, Kazakhstan comprising five towers joined by a four-storey podium and four-level basement. The centerpiece of the development is a 75-storey tower which, is the tallest building in the region and a landmark for Kazakhstan. The development also comprises two 30-storey international-grade office buildings, a smaller residential building and a hotel.
