Abu Dhabi’s Masdar City has announced the groundbreaking of its 30,000-sq-m sustainable community, The Link, which is expected to create over 2,000 jobs in the UAE.
UAE construction company Dutco has been signed up as the main contractor for the project.
The sustainable community will be the region’s first net-zero energy shared living and working facility. The Link will boast four low-carbon buildings with event spaces as well as retail options, recreational facilities, and outdoor plazas.
The project is expected to achieve a significant reduction in energy use, powered by renewable energy sources.
The Link is part of Masdar City’s plan for sustainable urban development and aims to connect shared working and living spaces with other community amenities, said a top official.
