Abu Dhabi developer Aldar Properties has announced the launch of its boutique residential project, Manarat Living, in Abu Dhabi’s cultural district on Saadiyat Island.

According to the developer, the project will feature 273 homes located close to the cultural hub of Manarat Al Saadiyat, where year-round art exhibitions, workshops, and performances can be enjoyed. Manaret Al Saadiyat has been created to offer one of the world’s leading centres of cultural entertainment, showcasing art and media from around the globe.

Manarat Living will feature a range of sustainable design and building features, including the use of eco-efficient water fixtures, green building technologies, and a wide selection of sustainable construction materials, the statement from Aldar pointed out.

In late November 2022, Aldar said it was joining the Clean Energy Business Council and, in early January 2023, Aldar launched Sustainable City – Yas Island.

The development has been designed to achieve a two-pearl rating, as per the Estidama sustainability rating system, it added.

According to Aldar, the community is also within walking distance of many attractions including one of the UAE’s best beaches, the thriving restaurant and social scene at Mamsha Al Saadiyat and Soul Beach, five exceptional museums, the Abrahamic Family House, and one of Abu Dhabi’s premier schools.

In early February 2023, Aldar Properties formed a JV with Dubai Holding to enter the Dubai market.
