Latest real estate developments and projects in the Middle East will be revealed at the upcoming Cityscape Abu Dhabi, the region’s leading real estate development and investment event, said organisers.

The sixth edition of Cityscape Abu Dhabi is taking place from April 22 to 25 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre.

Leading players in the regional real estate industry will also use the event as a key platform to provide updates on existing developments.

Wahat Al Zaweya will be showcasing a major eco-friendly, self sustainable, mixed-use community development at the event.

Spread over 22.7 million sq m of land currently in the Faqaa corridor of UAE’s Garden City Al Ain, Wahat Al Zaweya will be available in four phases, with the master developer looking to sell 1,500 available villa plots in Phase One.

“Wahat Al Zaweya will become an ideal weekend and getaway destination for local Emirati and expatriate families,” said Khaldoun Saleh, general manager of Wahat Al Zaweya. “The project will comprise holiday or weekend homes that co-exist with a host of other developments including education institutes, healthcare facilities, retail and other services.”

The Libyan / British joint venture architectural practice, Allabina LCE will also launch itsinnovative 400 metre SZ Tower concept at Cityscape Abu Dhabi.

Surrounded by a ‘Knowledge Souk,’ the tower’s futuristic design is inspired by the form of the Arabian cloak (bisht) and inner garment (thawb), with the scaled model taking centre stage at Allabina LCE’s exhibition stand.

“The many exciting projects being showcased that have been recently completed, or soon to enter the market in Abu Dhabi are all a vital part of the UAE capital’s 2030 strategic plan. The Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council will also showcase a much anticipated update on Vision 2030 at Cityscape Abu Dhabi, which is expected to be another of the show’s highlights.”
