The partnership will also support Abu Dhabi’s long-term economic diversification strategy by developing a low-density urban destination that brings together sustainable residential living, health and wellness facilities, equestrian activities, innovation hubs, open natural spaces, and modern infrastructure designed to meet the needs of future living.

Issa Ataya, founder and CEO of Wujod Real Estate Development, remarked that the project will serve as a sustainable platform supporting the health and wellness, innovation, and tourism sectors.

He stated, "Our ambition is to develop a leading global destination that sets a new standard for residential excellence through spacious residential clusters, specialized health and wellness facilities, equestrian and golf experiences, productive green spaces, integrated lifestyle amenities and services, as well as advanced and sustainable infrastructure."

The development aligns closely with Abu Dhabi’s strategic priorities in economic diversification, sustainability leadership, tourism growth, and the advancement of the health and wellness sectors, aiming to contribute effectively to the emirate’s long-term vision for integrated and future-focused urban development.
