A vast 50 million square foot mixed-use community is set to emerge between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, promising to redefine urban living and connectivity in the UAE.
The project, developed under a Dh2.47-billion land sale agreement between Abu Dhabi Ports Group and Mira Developments, will be located in the Al Mamoura district, strategically positioned along the Dubai–Abu Dhabi highway.
Designed as one of the emirate’s largest mixed-use developments, the community will include residences, luxury hotels, universities, schools, and one of the region’s largest shopping malls. Additionally, a modern business complex and world-class golf courses will form part of the extensive master plan.
According to Mira Developments, the total investment for the project will exceed Dh55 billion, showcasing the UAE’s commitment to large-scale, forward-looking urban growth.
To ensure convenience and connectivity, the community will benefit from proximity to both Al Maktoum International Airport and Zayed International Airport, each located within a 50-kilometre radius. This accessibility aims to make the area a central hub for residents, business travellers, and international visitors alike.
While construction timelines are still being finalized, developers indicated that work could begin as early as next year, with completion potentially spanning over the next decade. The flexibility in the project’s timeline reflects the scale and ambition of the development.
The master plan also includes multi-branded residential and commercial properties, developed in partnership with leading global fashion and lifestyle names, signaling a focus on high-end living and design innovation.
Industry experts say the project aligns with the UAE’s broader vision to expand sustainable, smart, and integrated urban environments that attract both investors and residents seeking upscale lifestyles.
“This community will represent a new standard of modern living, blending commerce, education, leisure, and sustainability,” a Mira Developments spokesperson said. “It is designed to enhance connectivity between Dubai and Abu Dhabi while offering a premium lifestyle destination.”
The initiative marks another milestone in the UAE’s ongoing drive to diversify its economy beyond oil and invest heavily in real estate, tourism, and infrastructure. As the nation prepares for the next stage of its urban evolution, the Al Mamoura project underscores the country’s long-term commitment to innovation and global appeal.
With its scale, location, and world-class amenities, the upcoming community is poised to become one of the most sought-after destinations in the region—bridging two major cities and redefining the future of luxury living in the UAE.
