Abu Dhabi has announced plans to develop a major residential project on the coast of Al Dhafra region at an investment of Dh2.7 billion ($735 million).
The Jabal Al Dhanna housing development, which will come up over a 1.29-million-sq-m area, will boast more than 700 villas and townhouses, 1,449 apartments, two schools, eight mosques, a main centre and a medical clinic in the first phase.
Upon completion, the project will accommodate nearly 12,000 people, said the Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT).
Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s Representative in the Al Dhafra Region, was briefed on the masterplan and progress of the project by Jassim Mohammed Al Zaabi, chairman of the Department of Finance and DMT chairman Falah Mohammad Al Ahbabi at a meeting last month at Al Nakheel Palace in Abu Dhabi.
