Aldar has unveiled plans to develop the UAE’s first Tesla Experience Centre on Yas Island, bringing together a showroom, service centre and delivery hall under one roof.
The purpose-built, 5,000sqm facility will strengthen Tesla’s presence in the UAE by offering an integrated customer experience and optimised operations, while reinforcing Yas Island’s reputation as a prime base for global brands.
Jassem Saleh Busaibe, Chief Executive Officer at Aldar Investment, said: “This build-to-suit development for one of the world’s most recognisable brands represents another step in the evolution of Aldar’s industrial and logistics offerings. It reflects the confidence global companies have in Aldar as a partner of choice, and in Yas Island as a strategic base for long-term growth.”
