Almoayyed Tower
Structure
The entire construction process was divided into two Phases. Phase-1 was the construction of the tower itself, and Phase-2 was the construction of the eight-storey car park, which can accommodate over 1000 cars. The first Phase was completed in November 2003, and the second Phase was completed in 2004. Almoayyed was the tallest structure in Bahrain from 2001 until 2008, standing over 172 metres (564 ft) tall, with 42 floors and 6 public elevators, and a total floor space of 48,400 square metres (520,973 sq ft). Almoayyed is built on a 2,024 m (21,786 sq ft) footprint area and is the first building in Bahrain to possess a private helipad, which is built on the top of the building.
Facilities
Almoayyed Tower offers retail space covering its 'Mall' which encompasses the ground and mezzanine floors and has a separate entrance on the north side of the structure. The building has booster antennas from all the major telecom providers in Bahrain, meaning that signal is not lost whilst in one of the 6 elevators. The 43rd floor offers space for antennas; given Almoayyed Tower's large size relative to all other buildings in the Al Seef District, it has been a hub for telecom providers to place their antennas on Almoayyed Tower to give better reception to the rest of Manama.
Management
Almoayyed Tower is managed by the owners of the building, YK Almoayyed & Sons Properties Co WLL.
