Area Overview

Description

Masdar City operates globally as Abu Dhabi’s radically sustainable urban mega-district and free zone. Backed by Masdar (a heavyweight Mubadala subsidiary) with an iconic masterplan by Foster + Partners, it sits immediately adjacent to Abu Dhabi International Airport. It flawlessly engineers a collision between an elite clean-technology business cluster and radically energy-efficient residential apartments, townhouses, and massive villas. Having launched its first highly futuristic buildings in 2010, the ongoing phases rigorously adhere to aggressive green standards. Housing is openly marketed as absolute freehold to all nationalities. The zone is heavily intellectually anchored by the monumental Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI).
