A purpose-built, sustainability-focused district near Abu Dhabi International Airport, Masdar City is designed around low-carbon and renewable-energy principles, combining a growing technology and research cluster with a compact residential community of mostly low- and mid-rise apartments.
The community suits buyers and tenants drawn to its environmental design, car-free core streets and innovation-sector employers on the doorstep. Housing is still relatively limited in scale compared with Abu Dhabi's larger communities, but continues to expand as the district's technology and research cluster grows.
