01 / The project

A closer look.

This Aldar residential development occupies a setting beside the Zayed National Museum in Saadiyat Cultural District. Its 226 furnished residences were designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, with interiors by Lillian Wu and residential management announced with Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.

The announced design combines furnished homes, natural marble, warm timber and carefully considered lighting. Open living areas connect with kitchens and terraces. The branded service proposition is separate from the developer’s ownership and sales role; buyers should review the current management and service documents alongside the home specification.
