P&T Architects and Engineers, a Hong Kong-based international company which will design the First Abu Dhabi – Shams on Reem Island has opened a branch in Abu Dhabi to coincide with the award of the project.

The development enjoys a central location within the Dh9.1 billion ($247 billion) 385-acre Shams Abu Dhabi master plan that is being developed by Sorouh as a major metropolitan centre within Abu Dhabi city.
The development consists of two separate adjacent sites with a combined gross floor area of 3.5 million sq ft.
Primarily residential in nature, almost 2,000 flats are provided within four main 50-storey residential towers together with two smaller mixed-use blocks.
 One special feature of this development is that it envisages the first major automated parking system in Abu Dhabi.
The system offers the convenience of being able to drive straight in, drop the car off and then proceed directly to take the lift and even allows for the car to be ready and waiting, by registering a smart card when entering the lift.
First Abu Dhabi – Shams is developed by Mayadeen Gulf Estate Company, a subsidiary of National Ranges Com-pany.
