Abu Dhabi: Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, has inaugurated the Sweihan housing project as part of the integrated Emirati Neighbourhood Initiative, providing 204 new homes to citizens in Sweihan at a cost of $155 million.
The project was developed with the aim of creating a tightly knit and integrated community offering high-quality facilities. The project was built according to the latest specifications to provide an integrated residential community that is characterised by authenticity and modernity, involving the construction of separate villas that share public outdoor spaces.
Mr. Hamad Hareb Al Muhairi, Director General of the Abu Dhabi Housing Authority, commented that “our leadership’s directives reflect their commitment to meeting the housing needs of citizens and their families. The Abu Dhabi Housing Authority is making every effort to develop housing projects that meet the needs of citizens and offer them integrated communities that include all public facilities and infrastructure.”
The Sweihan housing project, covering more than 80 hectares, includes 204 villas for citizens, two mosques, two malls, a community centre, and 21 green spaces and parks, as well as allocated plots of land for commercial and community facilities. Each villa includes two majalis, dining and living rooms, five bedrooms, and other facilities.
The Sweihan housing project is the first to be implemented in line with the Abu Dhabi Housing Authority’s Integrated Neighbourhood Directory, a set of standards and guiding principles for the interior of government housing in Abu Dhabi that ensure homes meet the needs of Emirati families.
