Leading UAE developer Aldar Properties has announced that it has acquired 6.2 million sq m of prime land located on the east side of Saadiyat Island valued at AED3.68 billion ($1.01 billion).

The plot has been earmarked for a mixed-use project. The proposed development, which will boost Saadiyat Island’s position as a fully developed residential, cultural, and leisure destination, will be home to over 15,000 people. The integrated community will include 2,700 units, most of which are villas, with an estimated gross development value of AED15 billion.

The acquisition consideration will be paid in kind as the development progresses, with construction scheduled to begin in the second half of 2022 over a four-year development period.

Construction at the Zayed National Museum seems to be coming along very fast and nicely. They've recently started planting new palm trees around the area too.

The Abrahamic Family House is over 20% complete at the end of March 2022

The Abrahamic Family House project that is being carried out on Saadiyat island in Abu Dhabi the capital city of the United Arab Emirates is reportedly over 20% complete with the inauguration ceremony set to take place before the end of the year. This was revealed in a statement released by the Higher Committee Of Human Fraternity (HCHF), which is supervising the project that is closely followed by imam Ahmed el-Zayed of al-Azhar and Pope Francis who endorsed its overall design.

Within the establishment, there are three separate iconic houses dubbed the Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue, the Imam Al Tayed Mosque, and the St Francis Church. Moses ben Maimon is described as an influential and prolific Jewish philosopher that was Sephardic during the middle ages. The Abrahamic Family House site will also include a cultural center that aims to motivate people to exemplify the human spirit of solidarity.

The design of the Abrahamic Family House aimed to capture the values that are shared across Islam, Judaism, and as well as Christianity, was done by Adjaye Associates, an award-winning architectural and design firm with studios in Accra, London, and New York. The firm was led by Sir David Adjaye, a Ghanaian-British architect famous for designing many notable buildings around the world, including the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.
