Saadiyat Island is another incredible Abu Dhabi island Mega Project being managed by Abu Dhabi's Tourism Development and Investment Company (TDIC).
Saadiyat Island will have 6 different regions with the most advanced living and leisure facilities, a 7-Star resort as well as a number of other resort developments, 2 golf courses, 3 marinas, museums, 29 luxury hotels with a total of 7000 rooms, 38,000 apartments and 8000 villas. It is estimated that Saadiyat, once completed, will be home to 150,000 residents.
All 6 regions of the island will be linked by freeways and the island itself will be linked to Abu Dhabi by 2 causeways, each one having a 10 lane freeway. There will also be a light rail transport system.
Saadiyat will be developed in 3 phases with a final completion date of 2018.
Quote from TDIC:
"Saadiyat is a symbol of Abu Dhabi's renewed economic openness and a signal to the world that this Emirate is very much open for partnerships and business on an international scale."
Wow! Abu Dahbi is really developing some fantastic Mega Projects! I think Saadiyat will be of great benefit to Abu Dhabi as well as all the lucky people who visit this island.
