Aldar appoints John Buck International to manage commercial property portfolio

Currently Aldar's existing and planned commercial property portfolio includes key buildings in strategic locations in Abu Dhabi.

Initially, much of JBI's work will be focused on the Al Mamoura building which is currently the most prestigious office building in Abu Dhabi and where Mubadala, the government investment firm, is based.

This is to be followed by Baniyas Office Towers and Aldar's landmark headquarters building at Al Raha Beach.

John Buck International is the first firm in Abu Dhabi to specialize in fully integrated quality-driven commercial real estate development, leasing and property asset management services. With a rapidly expanding team of international professionals, practical experience across the full spectrum of real estate services, and a commitment to international standards of building sustainability, JBI promises to deliver sustained benefits and exceptional service to tenants, owners and investors alike.

Mohammed Al Mubarak, Aldar chief commercial officer, commented: "John Buck's experience in managing key projects worldwide complements Aldar's vision and strategy in managing its wide portfolio of commercial developments"

John Buck, CEO of JBI added: "We are honoured to have been selected for this important assignment by Aldar, Abu Dhabi's leading residential and commercial development company."
