Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO, Marjan, said: “RAK Central plays an integral role in Marjan’s mission to develop world-class multi-dimensional destinations within the thriving ecosystem of Ras Al Khaimah. As part of our commitment to power the emirate’s transformation into a vibrant economic hub we welcome the move by Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone, Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority, RAK Hospitality Holding and Al Hamra to set up their headquarters at this innovative space. The synergy created by these key entities will no doubt enhance our offerings as we collectively work towards positioning Ras Al Khaimah as a global powerhouse among key investors.”

Ramy Jallad, CEO of RAKEZ, said: “With the RAK Central complex, we’re creating a space that brings us closer to our clients and investors, supporting them as they work toward their goals and aspirations. This development is thoughtfully crafted to address the needs of businesses, offering state-of-the-art office facilities, modern amenities, and a vibrant environment where businesses can thrive. It is more than just a workspace; it is a dynamic hub where collaboration happens naturally, ideas flow freely, and partnerships are built. By fostering this kind of community, we aim to create new opportunities for businesses to connect, innovate, and grow, contributing to the broader vision of Ras Al Khaimah as a premier destination for investment.”

Spread over 435,000 square feet, the upcoming RAK Central HQ Office Complex offers over 800,000 square feet of innovative workspace with open floor plans and terrace seating areas to enhance productivity and well-being.
