UAE-based Modon Properties said work is set to begin soon on the Dh2.7-billion ($735 million) Jabal Al Dhanna residential project coming up on the coast of Al Dhafra region.

 

Modon is a master developer mandated by the Abu Dhabi government to build vibrant and sustainable communities and develop strategic mixed-use projects in the emirate.

 

The announcement from Modon comes on the back of an inspection tour by Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler's Representative in Al Dhafra Region, to the  proposed site location of the Jabal Al Dhanna Housing Project.

 

The Jabal Al Dhanna housing development, which will come up over a 1.29 million sq m area, will boast more than 1,449 apartments, two schools, eight mosques, a community centre and a medical clinic, along with more than 700 villas and townhouse.

 

Upon completion, the project is set to accommodate around 12,000 people including employees and their families working in government and semi-government institutions in Al Dhafra Region.

 

During the visit, Sheikh Hamdan underlined the importance of the long-term planning of development and strategic projects in the emirate.

 

"This will help ensure provision of new residential neighbourhoods and cater for its residents' needs, ultimately contributing to the prosperity of UAE nationals and residents of Al Dhafra," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
