The Setting

Golf, Water and Landscape at the Heart of the City

An 18-hole championship golf course forms one of the defining landscapes of Abu Dhabi Mira Hills. Around it, a 5 km network of seawater lagoons extends through the residential districts, with eight private beaches integrated into the waterfront.

At the centre of the master plan, more than 460,000 m² of parkland creates a major green destination for residents and visitors, connecting neighbourhoods through landscaped public spaces and walking routes.

A Complete City

Living, Working and Learning in One Place

Abu Dhabi Mira Hills is planned as more than a residential community. Two universities and research facilities, three schools, eight kindergartens and a 200-bed hospital place education and healthcare within the city itself. Three five-star hotels and resorts introduce hospitality and branded living, while business, retail and cultural destinations bring activity throughout the day.

The result is a city designed around everyday life rather than a collection of isolated residential projects.

City Life

A Destination With Its Own Centre of Gravity

The wider master plan includes a 320,000 m² landmark retail and entertainment destination with a 700 m indoor ski slope, alongside The Cube — a 100 m mixed-use business hub created for the international real estate industry.

The Museum of the UAE and a multi-purpose stadium add cultural and public destinations, while the pedestrian-focused upper level separates everyday public life from roads, parking and servicing below.

Across the city, 42 km of walking trails and 21 km of cycling routes connect neighbourhoods, parks and key destinations.

Why Develop at Abu Dhabi Mira Hills

Abu Dhabi Mira Hills combines selected freehold development opportunities with a master plan by BIG and more than AED 55 billion in planned investment across the wider city.

For individual developers, the proposition extends beyond the land itself: each project becomes part of a destination with infrastructure, landscape, education, healthcare, hospitality and major leisure destinations planned at city scale.

Enter Alongside a Growing City

Development opportunities are available while Abu Dhabi Mira Hills itself is taking shape.

Phase 1 covers approximately 1.3 km² and is planned as a complete district with residential development, education, healthcare, retail, dining and sports infrastructure.

Projects entering at this stage therefore develop alongside the wider city as its landscape, institutions and destinations become established.

Infrastructure Delivered at Master-Plan Level

Roads, utilities, public realm and landscape form part of the wider development programme, together with the golf course, lagoons, parks, education, healthcare and hospitality.

This allows individual developers to concentrate capital and expertise on their own residential product while becoming part of a much larger urban environment.

A Flexible Route Into the UAE Market

Developers already established in the UAE can retain full control of their project. International groups entering the market can instead draw on Mira Developments for approvals, design, construction, branding or complete project delivery.

This creates a route into Abu Dhabi that can be adapted to the experience and capabilities of each development partner.

A Broader Demand Base

Around 70,000 people are expected to live at Abu Dhabi Mira Hills, while universities, healthcare, hotels, offices, retail and other destinations are projected to bring a further 50,000 people into the city each day.

Together with direct E11 connectivity to Abu Dhabi and Dubai, this gives individual residential projects access to demand beyond the community’s permanent population alone.
