A history of commitment and a vision for the

future of Emirati Housing
Since the formation of the United Arab Emirates by the late
Sheikh Zayed and under the directives of HH Sheikh Khalifa
bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAEs President and the guidance
of HH General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan,
the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and the Deputy Supreme
Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, the Government
of Abu Dhabi has placed a strong focus on planning and
building housing for its National families.
Building on the traditions and heritage of the Emirati
people, a strong emphasis has always been placed on
family, community, and privacy through a progressive
return to the fareej style homes.
The key objectives of these projects is to develop multiple
housing options for future Emirati generations and preserve
and promote the traditional Emirati identity and preferred
style of living.
Planning and designing for all villas has been carefully
crafted with the commitment to delivering complete
neighbourhoods for families to meet the following needs:

modern, high-quality, sustainable homes that build

on Emirati heritage and traditions to comfortably
accommodate the needs and traditions of Emirati
families.
adaptable and flexible homes and communities
a network of paths and pedestrian-friendly streets that
connect people to places.
community facilities that meet the needs of the
residents.
open spaces for meeting and playing
a dynamic, vibrant and cohesive atmosphere to
maintain sense of community.
The delivery of these housing communities forms a key
part of the Governments commitment and overall Vision
2030 for Abu Dhabi, which ensures that Nationals have
access to high-quality housing constructed by reputable,
local developers to the highest standards of quality and
sustainability, building on the success of the Estidama
sustainability programme launched and managed by the
Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council (UPC).
