Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi is the cultural district of the United Arab Emirates. It is home to civic landmarks such as the Abu Dhabi Louvre by Jean Nouvel, the Guggenheim by Frank Gehry, the Abrahamic House by David Adjaye, the Natural History Museum by Mecanoo, and the Zayed National Museum by Foster & Partners.

ACME is delighted to celebrate the launch of Mamsha Gardens, a residential led scheme, which is located between the island’s the Design District and Soul Beach.

The design draws inspiration from the island's natural surroundings. There are three building typologies in terms of massing and facade design, which are alternated and aligned to the street in order to achieve a more vibrant cityscape. The buildings are positioned to maximize sea and garden views, and to minimize overlooking between apartments. The podium perimeter is planted with lush greenery to soften the connection between streets and garden. Each building offers a range of apartment types and sizes and there are 13 townhouses with front facing terraces.

The scheme combines residential living with a lively retail district, aiming to provide residents with a mixture of beautifully designed homes along with convenience and connectivity.  There will be a diverse mix of restaurants with outdoor terraces, cafés and shops along the revitalized Mamsha Drive.

It features landscaped gardens with water-efficient irrigation systems and a selection of native plant species, ensuring that the landscape thrives with minimal resource consumption.

In line with Aldar’s goals to promote sustainable living and building practices, the development is targeting a 3 Pearl Estidama rating and a 3-star rating from Fitwel - the world’s leading certification system for optimising building health and wellness outcomes. 50% of both retail and residential parking will be EV ready, and residents will have several pedestrian routes to explore.
