The World Trade Center Abu Dhabi is a residential and commercial complex on Khalifa Bin Zayed The 1st Street in Abu Dhabi. Foster + Partners is the listed architect, and Aldar Properties owns it. Construction began on September 5, 2007, and the infobox gives November 4, 2014 as completion. The towers were first scheduled to finish in 2010, but the 2008 financial crisis pushed completion back.

The planned three-tower complex was reduced to two when the 837-foot (255 m) Hotel Tower was dropped. The Burj Mohammed bin Rashid residential tower is 1,253 feet (382 m) tall, with 92 floors and 13 elevators. The Trust Tower office building has 60 floors. The text gives its height as 278 meters, while the infobox says 276.6.

The Trust Tower opened in 2013 and houses leased properties and the World Trade Centers Association offices. It connects to a Courtyard by Marriott hotel through a mall and a souk.
