Brand View: At IMKAN, we are placemakers. We live by our research-based approach. We work with the brightest minds to develop thriving communities built to enhance over time. And this year, we are providing proof points with the delivery of our first set of unique projects.
Of our 26 projects, spanning three continents, five developments are due for release during 2019: Nudra – an exclusive beachside community of luxurious villas set on Saadiyat Island overlooking the Arabian Sea; Sheikha Fatima Park - Abu Dhabi’s first dynamic open air leisure space; Thanaya - a thriving apartment complex; phase one of Alburouj - a complete integrated community 20 minutes from Cairo airport, and Villa Diyafa - an unparalleled luxury hotel experience located in the heart of Rabat.
Our core values lie in placemaking. By focusing on placemaking, we’re aiming to develop vibrant neighborhoods and interactive public spaces that bring in value over time; both economically and with focus to people’s wellbeing – and this principle is a true reflection of our ethos. Here is a closer look at the projects that embody this very principle and more specifically; those that are coming to fruition this year.
Nudra, this beautiful beachfront complex of 37 villas is over 60 per cent compete and due for handover this summer. Each of the luxury villas on the development is set on 26,000 sq ft plots within Saadiyat Island’s Cultural District. Being set on a gentle slope provides picturesque views of the Arabian Sea. At IMKAN our aim is to set a new standard for community living with this exclusive project which has private beach access and allows purchasers of the villas to fully customize their interiors - the first project in Abu Dhabi to offer the option.
Sheikha Fatima Park is a vibrant new leisure space in the heart of one of Abu Dhabi’s busiest neighborhoods, Khalidiya and will be delivered in October 2019. The urban park will be a revitalized, multi-use space and packed with community-led activities.
