Aldar Properties PJSC, Abu Dhabi's leading listed property development, investment and management company, announced the launch of The Bridges - a 1272 unit, AED 1.3 billion, mid-market residential development. Capitalizing on the demand for this type of product, Aldar will release one tower for sale, at Cityscape Abu Dhabi. Prices will start from AED450,000, with eight different unit types including studios, 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments. Underlining the company's confidence in the growing mid-market segment, three towers, comprising 636 homes, will be incorporated into Aldar's leased residential portfolio as part of its investment program announced last month. The Bridges' two plots, each containing three towers, are separated by the new 2.4km canal that runs through Reem Island. Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chief Executive Officer, Aldar, commented: "We have launched The Bridges in order to cater to the significant demand for high quality, yet affordable homes in prime investment zone destinations across Abu Dhabi. Set alongside the new Reem Island canal and featuring a wide range of amenities, and situated close to Abu Dhabi's business and cultural districts, The Bridges will appeal to both investors and owner occupiers." The Bridges embodies the ideal balance between community and city living, and is situated next to the new public park which will be unveiled at Cityscape. Residents will enjoy stunning views of green parks and amenities which include two indoor ‘his and hers' gymnasiums; a spacious private courtyard with adult's and children's pools; and an outdoor fitness area. Construction is expected to commence in Q4 2017 and be ready for handover during Q1 2020. Reem Island is adjacent to the central business district on Al Maryah Island, and is also five minutes away from the city centre, and offers convenient access to world-class facilities and hotels nearby, including the Rosewood Hotel, Four Seasons, Galleria Mall, Cleveland Clinic, and Saadiyat Island. Those interested in The Bridges will have the opportunity to view the masterplan, floorplans and purchase their unit at Cityscape Abu Dhabi. Aldar's stand will be located in Hall 5 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre. — SG
