Noor Al Ain, Abu Dhabi

The first thing I said to myself when I saw the plans for Noor Al Ain was "WOW! ALDAR has done it again!" Noor Al Ain is another ALDAR masterpiece being built in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi. There is a lot of new development starting in Al Ain and it all looks great to me!

Noor Al Ain is a multi use Mega project that will contain a 300-room business hotel, department stores, cinemas, family entertainment facilities, luxury business offices, terraced gardens, parks, walkways, fine and family friendly dining, a health and fitness club, a waterpark and even a huge indoor beach! Noor Al Ain will include 7 towers: 6 residential towers with over 1300 apartments of all sizes and one hotel. There will also be enough parking for 8000 cars and 160,000 square meters of retail and entertainment space. The towers look incredible, very futuristic and cutting edge.

Noor Al Ain will be far more than a residential and business center with a mall. According to ALDAR CEO Ron Barrott, Noor Al Ain will be a unique travel destination:

"Noor Al Ain will be more of a destination than a mall, offering a retail mix and facilities for all budgets designed for the family."

...and according to Ahmed Ali Al Sayegh, Chairman of ALDAR:

"The creation of this retail and leisure complex will form a new town center and will add great benefit for Al Ain residents to shop, rest and play, whilst also ensuring the region's special character and charm are retained. ALDAR has consulted with world-leading architects to ensure a tasteful development which enhances its surroundings, adding value without compromising the essence of Al Ain."

The architecture for Noor Al Ain is 'based on the popular styles of multi-function shopping areas found at Sydney's Darling Harbor and Brisbane's South Bank, with a modern twist of Arabia," according to ALDAR.

ALDAR continues to amaze me with the Mega Projects they create....and I think Noor Al Ain will amaze everyone who sees it!
