Saadiyat Islands: Facts and Figures
Saadiyat Islands: Facts and Figures
With a development window stretching between 2009 and 2018, the development of Saádiyat Island, some 500 meters off the Abu Dhabi mainland, will be one of the most expensive projects to be undertaken in Abu Dhabi, with budget close to $27 billion. Obviously designed with the high-income group and holiday makers in mind, the Saádiyat Island – upon completion – would be able to accommodate 150,000 residents through some 38,000 apartment units and 8,000 luxury villas. This makes Saádiyat the second biggest “new community project” in Abu Dhabi next to Al Reem, in terms of prospective resident population.A cultural district to feature some of the world’s most recognized contemporary and art museums such as Guggenheim and Louvre will be built on Saadiyat Island. Some 29 five-star hotels will also be built on the island, which together will add about 7,000 rooms to Abu Dhabi’s existing hotel industry. A $163 million bridge project to link the Sa’adiyat Island with the Abu Dhabi mainland (from the mina area) has also been commissioned and is expected to be completed in 2009.
