The new 'satellite city', located between Al Ruwaya and Al Aweer areas across the Emirates Road, will cover an area of 4,000 hectares and house 160,000 inhabitants on completion.
The plan to build the 'smart sustainable city' was approved by the government in May 2014, with the design being inspired by the desert flower.
“The date for completion is 2025 timeline, but we are ready to deliver it before 2020. However, we are leaving the timescale to the government, if they decide to accelerate we can do it and if they want to decelerate we can still work it out.”
