Aldar Properties is also preparing to tender a contract to complete non-residential buildings that will support the community living in the villas. The buildings include a 23,000-square-metre school, a 2,500 sq m mosque, a 4,400 sq m shopping centre and a 1,700 sq m recreation club.
The architect of record is US-based RW Armstrong.
In 2009, Aldar Properties awarded more than $1bn of construction contracts on another Emirati housing community known as Al-Fallah villas. The developer awarded three contracts, which are worth up to AED2.6bn each ($706m), to Al-Jaber Group; El-Seif, and Malaysia’s Pembinaan SPK.
The villas are near Abu Dhabi International airport and the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway.
