The design proposal for The City Gardens is a new mixed use development in the heart of downtown Abu Dhabi offering a vibrant new quarter for the city. The proposed site area covers 13.8ha with the first phase component accommodated within 8.4ha of site. The phase 1 of the development comprises circa 130,000sqm GFA of F&B/ retail, residential, office, hotel and serviced apartments.

The City Gardens is designed to be home to a new residential community of over 760 units comprising studio, 1-bed, 2-bed, and 3-bedroom living accommodation. In addition, the site is planned to accommodate a new hotel (190 keys), service apartments (60 units) and an office building.

The public realm (designed as a series of interconnected garden spaces) aims to unify the development, providing unique and vibrant spaces activated by retail and F&B providing much needed open space for the area.
