These include Dh350 million worth of investment in three hotel and marina projects in Mirfa as well as Dh150 million worth of three hotel and resort projects in Delma Island – where private sector is developing the projects, under the guidance of ADIO.
“ADIO is working closely with the private sector of the UAE and international investors to invest in master-planned projects in Abu Dhabi and we are currently helping the prove sector investors in implementing a number of projects across the emirate of Abu Dhabi,” Mohammed Al Hosani, Advisor to ADIO, told the delegates at the Abu Dhabi Investment Conference, part of the IREIS 2018 exhibition and conference.
“These include three hotels and resorts at Delma Island, three hotels and a marina at Mirfa and hotels in Gayathi and Madinat Zayed cities. In total the value of these projects undertaken by the private sector would be between Dh3-5 billion.”
He said, ADIO has also floated tender for 7 mixed use projects with Abu Dhabi Sports Council to develop sports-inspired mixed-use projects.
“These are under a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement in coordination with Abu Dhabi Sports Council where the private sectors will develop the projects for the client,” Al Hosani said. “The tender has been floated and the bid closing deadline is November 21. We expect a good number of developers and contractors to bid for the projects.”
Al Hosani said, any landlord with a sizeable chunk of landbank in the emirate of Abu Dhabi can approach ADIO to help find investors and help develop projects.
“Although ADIO is a very new player in the scene, we are very aggressive in working towards the Abu Dhabi Vision 2030 by identifying new projects and investors develop projects,” Al Hosani said. “We are playing the role of match-maker between the landlords, asset manager, investors and developers.
“Our initiatives will create new employment and create new attractions across the emirate and help the emirates gross domestic product (GDP).
ADIO is also overseeing the development of the Mangrove Park which is spread across 10 square kilometres where 8 million trees exist. Among the projects ADIO will also oversee the development of an underwater museum off the coast of Saadiyat Island.
