Our master plan created a highly sustainable and cohesive urban community for this high-growth district of the UEA.
We have master planned 200 hectares of land as the largest new sustainable mixed-use development in a high-growth district within the UAE, designed to the standards of U.S. Green Building Council's LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND). The master plan divides the site into eight smaller districts pierced with water canals and connected by a new light rail system and a series of parks and pedestrian boulevards. Careful massing of low-, mid-, and high-rise buildings allows a cohesive urban fabric to emerge. Our sustainable guidelines mandate that all future buildings on site will be LEED Gold, and that, through a total system approach, resources will be shared between energy systems, wastewater systems, and building water use.
