Abu Dhabi has unveiled another milestone in its mission to deliver sustainable, fully serviced residential communities that enhance quality of life for Emirati families. The Al Samha Housing Project, inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, represents a comprehensive approach to urban planning that goes beyond housing to create integrated neighborhoods.
During the visit, His Highness was briefed on the project’s design specifications and key features, including its comprehensive infrastructure and public service facilities. The development covers 50 hectares and includes 242 villas, each built on a 1,080-square-meter plot with a total built-up area of 505 square meters.
The project incorporates 33 public parks and green spaces, a mosque spanning 1,228 square meters with capacity for 644 worshippers, two commercial complexes containing 38 retail outlets, and a 3-kilometer cycling track. The development was delivered by the Abu Dhabi Housing Authority (ADHA) in partnership with the Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre (ADPIC), in line with the highest quality standards and international best practices.
“The project reflects a commitment to providing world-class housing options aligned with the leadership’s vision for stable and well-served communities,” stated Mohamed Ali Al Shorafa, Chairman of the Department of Municipalities and Transport and Chairman of ADHA.
Officials highlighted that the Al Samha Housing Project reflects the leadership’s commitment to developing fully integrated and sustainable residential communities that support family wellbeing, prosperity and a high quality of life. Abu Dhabi’s housing approach focuses on building comprehensive communities that integrate housing, services and modern infrastructure to enhance social wellbeing and empower Emirati families.
The project is part of the Emirati Neighbourhood Initiative led by ADHA, which aims to deliver modern housing within well-planned communities that promote social stability and support urban development across the emirate. This initiative aligns with Abu Dhabi’s sustained housing support, which has exceeded AED5.76 billion in 2026.
Hamad Hareb Al Muhairi, Director-General of ADHA, noted that the project marks an important milestone in meeting citizens’ housing needs, with careful planning to ensure it aligns with Emirati family requirements in terms of space, design and community facilities.
The Al Samha development demonstrates Abu Dhabi’s long-term commitment to creating liveable, sustainable urban environments as the emirate’s population heads toward six million by 2040. The project contributes to the broader vision of transforming Abu Dhabi into a destination that balances strategic growth with quality of life, reinforcing the emirate’s position as a regional leader in planned urban development.
