The centre covers 4,500 square metres and offers more than 20 creative services.

The building, previously known as The Wing, had been largely unused since it was built in 2009.

The structure near Zayed Port was intended to be an exclusive Formula One club and was built by Aldar Properties.

It was designed to look like the lines of the rear wing of an F1 car, and has a glass-walled restaurant and lounge.
