On a grander scale, this proves that Abu Dhabi is fast becoming a focal point of property development and a hotspot for key real estate investments,” said Abdulwahab F. Al-Ameer, VP Chairman of Dar Al-Dhabi Holding.

Dar Al-Dhabi Project occupies five plots on Al Reem Island and strategically situated on the only marina in the Najmat Abu Dhabi development, 300 metres off the coast of Abu Dhabi. The project covers a gross construction area of 5 million square feet with a total cost estimated at AED 6 billion.

Al-Ameer added that he expects that “prices for both commercial and residential properties will improve in the very near future following the consistently good showing of the real estate market in Abu Dhabi.”

The groundbreaking project includes two 35-storey residential buildings (Al-Sharq Tower 1 and Al-Sharq Tower 2), a 7-storey residential building (Al-Seef Residential), and a 7-storey commercial building (Al-Seef Commercial) in addition to the two 300 metere high ‘Iconic’ towers, that promise to redefine the skyline of Abu Dhabi while serving commercial, residential and retail purposes. Exemplifying international standards in architecture and services by commissioning top architects and employing state-of-the-art technology, the development is targeted to become a landmark the Al Reem Island.

Dar Al-Dhabi Project offers the comfort of a modern waterfront lifestyle, proximity to 5-star hotels and a diverse range of leisure and entertainment amenities. “The success of Dar Al-Dhabi Project proves that discerning investors are always on the lookout for the most superior property investments. By bringing together the best of the best, we have realized our vision of creating excellent investment opportunities for our clients, supporting the long-term economic development of Abu Dhabi and offering sustainable benefits for our community,” concluded Al-Ameer.

In addition to its premium location on the marina, Dar Al-Dhabi Project is the only development that will have two adjacent ‘Iconic’ towers—one residential and another commercial, including a shopping mall in the podium. The multi-functional space and special facilities are set to meet the various specialized needs of its residents. After the re-planning exercises of Al Reem Island, Dar Al-Dhabi’s ‘Iconic’ towers will be the largest single plot of its kind on the island.

The ‘Iconic’ towers will be launched at Cityscape Dubai 2008 but pre-registration will be welcomed during Cityscape Abu Dhabi.
