Project Profile

Arzanah, with a visionary master plan that was conceived by award winning firms Sasaki of the USA and SMC Alsop of the UK, is an exquisite community in the heart of Abu Dhabi city.  Modern lofts overlooking pristine sandy beaches, stunning villas surrounded by lush gardens and a central canal as well as state of the art sports and leisure facilities combine to make Arzanah a complete urban oasis in the vibrant city of Abu Dhabi.

A 1.4 million square metre fully integrated development, Arzanah is strategically located at the gateway point to the island of Abu Dhabi in the Grand Mosque District.  It is one of the few remaining parcels of prime real estate on Abu Dhabi island. 

Arzanah is being developed in phases and incorporates two parcels of land including the area surrounding Zayed Main Stadium and the exclusive two kilometre beach front across the Khaleej Al Arabi road. Both vicinities will be linked by two new pedestrian bridges and will be easily accessible via a comprehensive road network that will be connected to the future planned high speed metro system.  

Arzanah offers an exceptional blend of quality residential properties including luxurious apartment towers, villas and modern lofts complemented by leisure, sports and retail amenities.  Facilities will include an exclusive beach club, a picturesque canal flowing through the development, communal gardens and extensive walking and cycling trails. 

Residents and visitors will also be able to enjoy the ultimate retail destination with Arzanah’s 150,000 square metres of indoor and outdoor shopping that includes a dynamic new mall developed by the Majid Al Futtaim Group offering quality retail outlets; high street boutique shops, indoor and outdoor shopping promenades, alongside alfresco cafes and restaurants by the canal. 

In addition to the Zayed Stadium, other sports facilities include the ATP-standard Abu Dhabi International Tennis Complex, the 40-lane world-class Khalifa International Bowling Centre, the Abu Dhabi Ice Rink and a state-of-the-art Aquatic Centre.  An internationally recognised school will offer high quality accredited education for children of all ages with access to Arzanah’s outstanding sports and leisure facilities at their doorstep.

Arzanah will also be home to the Mubadala owned Arzanah Medical Complex which houses three specialist healthcare facilities: Wooridul Spine Centre which will provide expert care for patients with spinal injuries; the Abu Dhabi Knee and Sports Medicine Centre, the first healthcare facility in the Middle East to specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of knee and sports related injuries; and  a state-of-the-art Wellness and Diagnostic Centre offering an extensive range of services including dentistry, dermatology, general practice and pediatrics.

The first phase of the project, Rihan Heights, is currently under construction and is on track for the start of gradual hand over of residences to their owners in the first quarter of 2011.  Rihan Heights consists of 5 luxurious apartment towers, 14 family villas and a wide range of lifestyle amenities.
