We are also pressing ahead on the various developments in our pipeline and look forward to delivering more homes across the capital in the coming period.”
At other sites such as Alghadeer, situated close to the border of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, show homes are now open to the public, with the development of a masterplan now entering its second phase.
At Water’s Edge, structural works across all buildings are making good progress on the development on the island’s eastern shores, Aldar said. The development consists of 13 mid-rise residential blocks and is comprised of studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments.
The company added that on Reem Island, construction of the 374-home Reflection development is continuing to move at a good pace on both Towers A and B while work at Alreeman, which is located near Abu Dhabi International Airport, is continuing ahead of schedule.
