Abu Dhabi Plaza business centre in Astana
Abu Dhabi Plaza is a mixed-use complex at 60/5 Syganak Street in the Yesil district of Astana. The office part consists of two separate Class A buildings, and it is they, not the residential tower, that shape the complex's offer on the rental market: over 85,000 sq m of lettable area, 28 floors and a minimum unit of 230 sq m. A direct link runs from the complex to the Baiterek LRT station. Below is what a tenant needs to know: the make-up of the complex, the engineering, transport and what to look at when choosing a unit.

What the building is
The complex was built by the Emirati developer Aldar Properties; the Kazakhstan legal entity is Aldar Eurasia LLP. The Qazaqstan tower within it is the tallest building in Kazakhstan and Central Asia: 382 metres and 88 floors. But the office offer is not shaped by that tower: two separate Class A buildings are given over to offices, and it is their parameters that matter to a tenant.
The scale of the office part is unusual for the city: over 85,000 sq m of lettable area and a stated 12,000 workstations. A market of that size behaves differently from a single tower: a tenant has a better chance of finding a suitable unit at the right moment and a better chance of housing a growing team at the same address instead of moving to another building in a couple of years. There is a negotiating consequence of scale as well: in a large property an owner usually has more room to discuss terms, the extent of fit-out and the payment schedule than in a building where a single unit is vacant.
The minimum unit is 230 sq m. The complex deliberately does not work with small tenants: you cannot come in here with an office for five people. For a company that needs a large unit or a whole level this is, on the contrary, an advantage: there is less chance of sharing a floor with a churning micro-tenant and it is easier to agree your own entrance group and access regime.
Some information about the property is not publicly stated: the exact year the office part was commissioned, the number of car parking spaces, the name of the management company and the list of tenants. Construction of the complex stretched over more than a decade and different blocks were commissioned in different years, so the year of construction is better verified for a specific building. The street numbering also differs: the property's own website gives 60/5 Syganak Street, while city directories give 60/3 Syganak Street; these are different blocks of the same complex.
Building services and engineering
The car park is arranged over four underground levels. The number of spaces is not publicly stated, and this is the first question to put to the owner: with an office part of over 85,000 sq m, parking provision affects day-to-day comfort more than the quality of the lobby finishes.
The passenger lifts are double-deck, with passengers sorted into floor groups before they even board the car. In a building of this height that is a way of keeping the morning peak from turning into a queue in the lobby: the system gathers people heading for adjacent floors into one car and cuts the number of intermediate stops. At a viewing it is worth checking how this works in practice — arrive between eight and ten in the morning and go up to the intended floor rather than judging the system by its description.
The complex holds LEED certification. As in other certified buildings, for a tenant this is above all a question of the quality of the indoor environment and the predictability of running costs, and for companies with ESG reporting, formal grounds when choosing a site.

Location and transport
The address is Syganak Street, Yesil district, the left bank of Astana, the business core of the capital. The immediate surroundings are dense: government and office buildings, hotels, retail. In front of the complex there is an open square — it sets a different approach to the building than towers that front directly onto the carriageway, and it makes it easier to hold meetings and outdoor events in the warm season.
The main transport distinction of the property is the direct link to the Baiterek LRT station. Only a handful of office buildings in the capital have such a link: the other properties in the left-bank business core depend on cars and buses. Given that in an Astana winter a 15-minute walk from the car park to the entrance is a real problem, a covered link to rapid transit becomes a measurable advantage rather than a line in a brochure.
For a tenant this affects two things at once. The first is hiring: the office becomes accessible to staff without a car, and the geography of the candidate search widens. The second is parking: part of the team stops taking spaces, and the shortage typical of the business core is felt less. Before deciding, still check with the owner the number of car parking spaces and how they are allocated to a unit — that figure has not been disclosed publicly.
Assess the approach by car separately. In the left-bank business core the entrances to the car parks of large complexes work to the same rhythm as the morning flow along the adjoining streets, and the time from turning off the street to a space on the underground level is worth measuring yourself — on a working morning, not at the weekend. The same applies to leaving in the evening: it is this, rather than the drive across town, that more often determines when an employee gets home, and it is this that becomes the bottleneck in buildings with a single entrance.
Who it suits and what to check when choosing a unit
The profile of the building is the large tenant: corporate head offices, representative offices, companies with big operational departments for which both the volume of space and the ability to expand at the same address matter. A minimum unit of 230 sq m and a stated 12,000 workstations across the complex set exactly that scale. A small team will find it both expensive and inconvenient here — it is better off looking at other buildings in the district.
Within the same perimeter as the offices there are a shopping centre, the five-star Sheraton hotel, apartments, a spa centre, a sports complex and a children's area. The practical meaning for a tenant is that meetings, accommodation for visiting colleagues, lunch and sport are all handled inside one complex, without going out into the city. For companies with a steady flow of visiting colleagues and partners this saves both time and the logistics budget.
What to check about a unit: the form of delivery and what is included in the rent; how the payable area is calculated; the allocated electrical capacity; how climate control runs outside working hours; the route from the LRT station and from the car park to your entrance. In a complex of this size the distance inside the building is often greater than outside, and a few minutes a day through the galleries add up to a noticeable amount.
Check separately who runs the building: the name of the management company is not publicly stated, and it determines access rules, the procedure for approving fit-out and the make-up of service charges. The list of tenants is not published either — if who shares your floor matters to you, ask about it directly in negotiations.
What to compare before deciding
The rent as of October 2025 is 14,000 ₸ per sq m per month: the fourth highest among the 21 operating business centres in Astana with published prices. In other words, a Class A complex with LEED certification and a link to rapid transit does not sit at the top of the market — and that is its main argument against its neighbours in the business core. Check at the same time which block the quoted rent refers to: the office part consists of two buildings, and terms for them may differ.
The correct comparison is by the final cost per workplace: rent plus service charges plus parking plus the amortised investment in fit-out, divided by the number of employees. Two unknowns matter particularly here — the make-up of the service charges and the parking provision: both are undisclosed publicly, and both can shift the outcome of the comparison in either direction. Ask for them in writing.
The second parameter is transport. If a substantial part of the team travels without a car, the link to the LRT station converts into specific figures: journey time, taxi costs, the share of late arrivals in winter. Most alternatives in the business core have no such link, and a comparison on rent alone does not show that advantage.
The third parameter is the horizon. The complex suits a company that plans to stay at the address for several years and possibly to grow: the size of the office part allows expansion without changing building. If the task is short-term, the comparison is more honestly made with flexible formats and serviced offices — the economics of entry there are different.
