Shamsa Sulaiman Alfahim, acting CEO of Bildco, stated that this partnership will support the evolution of the UAE’s real estate sector by providing building materials and solutions that meet the requirements of modern developments and contribute to the country’s sustainable urban growth.

She emphasized, "We believe that true growth is tied to our ability to deliver products and services that help build more efficient and sustainable communities, while supporting the vision of Abu Dhabi and the UAE to develop an integrated, future-ready urban environment."

Economic Diversification and Community Focus

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.
