Aldar Properties has unveiled the master plan for Fahid Island, a major waterfront development in Abu Dhabi, with an updated gross development value exceeding AED 40 billion ($10.89 billion).
The 2.7 million square meter island will feature over 6,000 luxury residences, including apartments, townhouses, and ultra-luxury villas. The first phase, Fahid Beach Residences, will comprise seven buildings, each housing 65 residences.
Situated between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, Fahid Island boasts an 11-kilometer coastline, offering residents direct access to the water.
The development emphasizes wellness and sustainability, with over 940,000 square meters dedicated to green open spaces and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. A 3-kilometer mangrove boardwalk and 4.6 kilometers of pristine beachfront further enhance the island's appeal.
Renowned architects Kengo Kuma and Koichi Takada have designed two distinct residential concepts for the island, while additional developments are being planned by London's ACME and UAE-based NAGA Architects.
Aldar has also partnered with a leading international institution to introduce an elevated education experience on the island, aligning with Abu Dhabi’s vision to become a regional hub for excellence in education.
Originally acquired by Aldar in February 2023 for AED 2.5 billion, the island's initial gross development value was estimated at AED 26 billion ($7.1 billion). The revised master plan reflects a significant expansion in scope and ambition, positioning Fahid Island as one of Abu Dhabi's most prominent mixed-use residential projects.
