In every new city, there is a building that becomes the symbol of its ambition. For Dholera, that symbol is the ABCD — the Administrative and Business Center of Dholera. More than an office block, the ABCD is the nerve center of governance, investor relations, and smart-city command systems. Its inauguration signals to the world that Dholera has moved from plans on paper to governance on the ground.
Architecture and Design
The ABCD Building is a modern, LEED-certified structure equipped with solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and advanced HVAC systems. Its architecture blends functionality with sustainability, serving as a demonstration project for future developers. The interiors house modular office spaces, high-tech conference facilities, and exhibition halls for showcasing Dholera’s vision to global investors.
Integrated Command & Control Center
The building houses the ICCC (Integrated Command & Control Center), a state-of-the-art hub that monitors utilities, traffic, safety, and emergency response in real time. Hundreds of IoT sensors across the Activation Area feed data into the ICCC, allowing quick interventions. From detecting traffic bottlenecks to responding to fire emergencies, the ICCC is where Dholera’s “smart” promise becomes tangible.
Investor Facilitation Hub
Equally important, the ABCD serves as a one-stop facilitation desk for investors. Representatives from various government departments operate under one roof, ensuring approvals, permits, and clearances are processed efficiently. For foreign delegations, the building doubles as a showroom, providing guided tours of the control systems, urban models, and master-plan displays.
Symbolism
The ABCD is more than bricks and glass; it is the first official address of Dholera. Its inauguration sends a strong signal to domestic and international stakeholders that the city is open for business. By hosting investor summits and business conclaves, it positions Dholera not just as a project site but as a legitimate corporate destination.
What to Watch Next
- Operational efficiency of ICCC systems.
- Hosting of the first global investor meet in the ABCD.
- Expansion of investor services to digital platforms linked with the building.
