Sorouh invites interest in first three development plots

As part of its participation in Cityscape at the Dubai International Convention Centre, Sorouh Real Estate announced it has opened the door for developers and investors in the first three plots of recently-announced Shams Abu Dhabi development.

These towers, shaped as if they open up and welcome the sky, represent the contemporary design and vision of the project.

The first of the plots to be released has been given a working name of 'The Gate', as its five impressive towers form the southern entrance to the Shams Abu Dhabi development. With four residential towers of 60 stories and a single 75-story mixed residential and commercial use tower, this plot encompasses 3,000 residential units with accompanying underground parking and environmental terraces and in total represents more than one million square metres of development space.

The second plot represents what is generally being referred to as the Northern or Upper Village-a residential cluster of buildings ranging from six to 35 stories which will be bisected by a major canal. This neighbourhood is expected to be known as a slightly upscale residential area known for its serenity.

The third plot is composed of several blocks dominated by two iconic towers at the northern tip of the development. These towers, shaped as if they open up and welcome the sky, represent the contemporary design and vision of the project. These towers will form the commercial centre of the adjoining Upper Village.

Sorouh Chairman Saeed Eid Al Ghafli encouraged investors to visit the Sorouh team at Cityscape and explore the potential of these three initial plots for development.

'These plots represent exciting opportunities for private investors and developers to get involved in what will become one of the largest developments in Abu Dhabi,' he said. 'Abu Dhabi has recently passed new laws which have had the effect of opening up new areas for investment. Sorouh is at the forefront of this new development activity as we look for partners to join with us in building a new face of the capital city.

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.
