The Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC), the master developer of major tourism, cultural and residential destinations in Abu Dhabi, announced today that the enabling work is well under way for Phase 1 of the Saadiyat Lagoons District. The contract was awarded to Western Bainoona Group for General Contracting L.L.C. and covers ground improvements, in addition to site clearance. It is progressing per schedule to be delivered by the end of this year. Mr. Sufian Hasan Al Marzooqi, Chief Executive Officer at TDIC, said: “We launched this project back in April of this year and works are on track in preparation for the main construction of the project. The contractor has mobilized on site for the enabling works and we expect to announce the main construction works contract before the end of this year. Saadiyat Lagoons District is such a unique residential project within Saadiyat Island and we anticipate the interest to only increase moving forward.” Saadiyat Lagoons, the largest district on the island, is a premium residential community. Phase 1 of the Saadiyat Lagoons District includes 820 townhouses set in a gated community. The townhouses will make up two to four bedroom units featuring a contemporary design style. Homeowners will also have access to a range of community facilities such as community pools and children playgrounds, including a dedicated convenience store, and access to a neighbourhood lagoon. The project has been designed to encourage active lifestyles, with walking and cycling paths located throughout the district and horse-riding trails set alongside the mangroves’ area. Along these diverse leisure elements, the district will also include two lifestyle and retail destinations: a town centre, which overlooks the central Plaza, the central lagoon and a linear park, and, a waterfront village, located close to the water’s edge and easily accessible by the district’s various paths.
