ADNH plans to build The Gate
Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi National Hotels (ADNH), Abu Dhabi’s leading hospitality group, has announced the launch of one of the UAE capital’s most prestigious projects, The Gate.
Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart (SRSS) has been selected as the architect and consultant for the project, while Hill International will be the project manager.
The project, due for completion by mid 2008, will occupy two main development sites: the landside and waterside.
The Gate will be a mixed-use development located on Al Khaleej Street next to Zayed Sports City, approximately half way between Abu Dhabi’s central business district and Abu Dhabi International Airport. It will also be in the vicinity of the Shaikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Abu Dhabi International Exhibition Centre.
The Gate takes its name from ADNH’s vision of creating an iconic and inspiring gateway to Abu Dhabi.
The main elements of the landside site include a 265-room five star international hotel with function facilities, two serviced apartment towers with 225 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, an office tower with around 21,000 sq m of space, a 20,000 sq m retail mall, a verdant central park as well as hotel support facilities.
The waterside development facilities consist of 50 chalets, retail village, beach club and an adventure water world. The site plans to become a leading location for relaxation and entertainment, where visitors will have access to a mix of recreation zones, health and spa facilities, retail zone, restaurants, and beach.
