1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Al Maryah Island

Al Maryah Island is a 114-hectare mixed-use development, designated by the emirate's Department of


Urban Planning and Municipalities (DPM), to be the capital's Central Business District (CBD) and
designated Financial Free Zone. It is being developed in four phases as illustrated below.

The island occupies a unique location at a midpoint between Abu Dhabi's existing downtown district, Al
Reem Island, Mina Zayed, and the new cultural district on Saadiyat Island. In this strategic position, it
creates a natural hub for Abu Dhabi - a vibrant core, combined with landmark architecture, seamlessly
integrated into the fabric of the city by state-of-the-art, multi-tiered transport infrastructure.

1.1.1 Abu Dhabi Plan 2030


Abu Dhabi's Vision 2030 is a
government-backed plan to set
guidelines for key infrastructure, real
estate, tourism, and financial targets
for the next 20 years, as the city
further establishes its role as a world
city as well as the capital of the UAE.
The development section, Plan Abu
Dhabi 2030: Urban Structure
Framework Plan, is overseen by the
emirate's Department of Urban
Planning and Municipalities (DPM),
specifically created for the purpose,
and chaired by His Highness Sheikh
Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan,
crown prince of Abu Dhabi.

This provides a comprehensive


foundation for the development of
the city in a strategic and coordinated
way and will, in His Highness Sheikh
Mohamed's words, "ensure that
future generations will continue to
enjoy and be inspired by the desert,
sea and natural assets that are
integral to our natural identity while
Figure 2- Al Maryah Island Development Phases
building a global capital with its rich
cultural heritage."

Plan Abu Dhabi 2030 allows Abu Dhabi's Department of Urban Planning and Municipalities (DMT) to
coordinate and oversee developments across all sectors to promote the city's role as an international
business hub. To date, several new districts have been created, with the aim of concentrating resources
by area to achieve the greatest impact on finance, legislation, the environment, tourism, and trade.

Al Maryah Island is being developed by AlSowah Square Properties LLC (ASP), a subsidiary of Mubadala
Investment Company PJSC (MIC), into a world-class Central Business District (CBD), modeled on the
world's leading mixed-use business districts.

1.1.2 Al Maryah Island Vision

Al Maryah Island is a world-class mixed-use development in the heart of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the
United Arab Emirates, and a major catalyst in the city's drive to achieve its objective of environmental,
economic, and social sustainability.

This thriving, high-density residential, retail, leisure, hotel, and commercial district will have a working
population of 75,000 and will be home to approximately 30,000 people, living an urban lifestyle
enlivened by everything the modern city dweller demands in a contemporary cityscape: parks and open
spaces, art galleries, community centers, high street and high fashion retail names, designer boutiques,
and a wide array of street cafés and world-class restaurants. Designed to underpin Abu Dhabi's long-
term economic and commercial growth, Al Maryah Island is quickly emerging as an all-around model for
urban living in the 21st century.

1.1.3 Innovative Masterplan

Al Maryah Island has been designed to take advantage of its unique position within Abu Dhabi, as a
commercial center for the city with a broad selection of 24/7 accessible public open space, retail
amenities, F&B offerings, and five-star Hospitality and Healthcare venues. The central section of the
island is built on a 14.25-meter-high podium encircled by a 5.4 km waterside Promenade. The central
section is the most densely developed, with commercial office towers and multi-story hotels flanking the
country's new Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) Headquarters building at the center of ADGM Square
(formerly Sowwah Square).

Figure 3- CMP Report Figure 4- DMP Report

A multibillion-dollar investment in its infrastructure has created an innovative multi-tiered road network
that accommodates a major new transit system. Together with a culturally responsive and imaginatively
designed public domain, they will integrate every aspect of the island - shopping malls, inviting leisure
venues, lively residential areas, public open space, a waterfront promenade, and landmark office towers.

2. PURPOSE

The purpose of this document is to introduce the project. The Project Brief may be later extended and
refined into a Design Brief with Employer’s Requirements (ERs).

The Project Brief is a formal statement of the objectives and the functional and operational requirements
of the finished product. It should enable the designers to gain an understanding of the development plan
requirements.

The Project Brief is a key document and should not be altered without Client’s approval. Any significant
change to the material contained in the Project Brief will need to be referred to the Mubadala UAE Real
Estate Unit.

The Project Brief is deemed to reflect:


• the mandate for the project;
• basis on which to initiate the project; and
• how Mubadala UAE Real Estate will assess the acceptability of the finished product.

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION & SCOPE

3.1 Vision

Al Maryah Island’s uniqueness in high standards is reflected in all aspects of the development, and
especially in the current and planned built environment.

It is envisaged that all buildings comply with creative and innovative design aesthetics; integration with
the surrounding streetscape, open spaces and built forms, and beflexible, functional, and sustainable.

The designs shall holistically reflect the quality, luxury and prestige existing on the island, by incorporating
high design standards and international best practices, in a creative, innovative, and inspirational solution,
which will stand as a testament to innovative design and resilience, offering both a nod to the past and a
look towards the future of urban landscape.

3.2 Design Strategy

While the Concept Master Plan and Detailed Master Plan fpr Phase 3 & 4 are under development, two (2)
plots in Phase 3 are to be fast-tracked for development. These Fast Track plots are in line with the
submitted revised 2025 CMP (Phases 3 & 4), and comprise of the assigned Land Uses, described below.

The two plots to be developed, as further clarified in 3.3 below, are mixed-use land use. The larger plot
includes Commercial, Residential, Hospitality and a Jame’e (Friday) Mosque over a multi-level parking
structure (3 within podium and 2 basements). It is intended that the initial requirement of the Car park
and Mosque are completed and available earlier (car park open for use in April 2028) than other assets. A
high-level timeline for development delivery is provided.

In line with the rest of the island, the development of these plots will have a podium level extension of

One Central Development – Project Brief

the existing podium level (at +14.25m ASL) for public accessibility and connectivity from the existing
Galleria mall and Four Seasons Abu Dhabi Hotel (at +8.00m ASL) through a connecting pedestrian bridge
is required, as it complies with the island-wide approved public circulation strategy. The structure of these
pedestrian bridges is already constructed, and the future design of the said plots will incorporate these
assets into the final design.

The development requires to reflect the principles embraced by Al Maryah island’s iconic Five-Star
properties (the ADGM, Abu Dhabi Global Market Square (the Square), Rosewood Abu Dhabi (RAD), Four
Seasons Abu Dhabi (FSAD), The Galleria (Mall), and Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi (CCAD). The adjacencies
and locations of these are illustrated in the below.

3.3 Current Challenges

This Project Brief focuses on the two (2) plots north of P6 (Hamdan Bin Mohammed Street) and of the
current built environment, into the Phase 3. The proposed development is subject to also the extension
of the podium level (at +14.25m ASL), for public accessibility.

Figure 7- Connections at +8m

Connectivity from the existing Galleria Mall and Four Seasons Abu Dhabi Hotel (at +8.00m ASL), through
a connecting pedestrian bridge is required, as it complies with the approved public circulation strategy.
The structure of these pedestrian bridges is already constructed, and the future design of these mixed-
use plots will incorporate these assets into the final design. Additionally key public transport networks

may have a significant impact on the site and its occupation, due to their respective setting out boundaries
and constraints. These may occur at several levels, both below ground (proposed Metro line) and at
podium level (Light Rail Transport). Understanding these limitations is key in bringing about a Design that
can be pragmatically constructed.

Since the Car parking (and Mosque) are to be completed earlier (car park open for use in April 2028) than
other assets, care requires to be taken in ensuring completeness and permittable design for partial
occupancy; consultants to consider transfer structures in their design. This includes design and permitting
for façade on the podium towards the North and East sides, air-conditioned lift lobbies, fully functional
security strategy, CCTV monitoring, car-park management system, associated data rooms, signage and
others.

AMI Fire & Life Safety requirements require to be followed and incorporated to ensure a seamless
experience. This includes any FLS related signage, alarm systems, fire-shutters and separation between
the tunnels, +3m level roads and asset carparks. A detailed and thorough coordination is required with
the island-wide design.
