Comprising five clusters, each approximately 250 metres long, the 1.4km beachfront mixed-use project will feature nine low-rise residential buildings including apartments and townhouses.

The unit sizes will range from one to four-bedrooms, to lofts and penthouses, with a gross floor areas from 106 to 454 square metres.

The project, which will be developed in phases, will also encompass a serviced-apartment building and a retail destination offering approximately 5,000 square metres of leasable area, for both retail and dining outlets.

Ali Majed Al Mansoori, TDIC’s chairman, said: “We are pleased to announce the awarding of the early works contract for this vibrant project. Since announcing details about Mamsha Al Saadiyat, the development has received great demand and interest from both investors and potential homeowners.”
