Fahid Island Masterplan: Designed for Well-Being
No point on the island is more than a 5-minute walk to the water's edge. 30% of the masterplan is given over to natural space: mangrove forests, green trails, and restorative gardens. The 10 km landscaped Berm Park forms the island's wellness corridor, with three cycling routes connecting to Abu Dhabi's wider cycle loop, a 10 km dedicated running loop, and 15 km of public walkways.
Architecture is entrusted to a global roster: Kengo Kuma and Koichi Takada from Japan, London's ACME, and Dubai-based NAGA Architects. Coral Drive, the island's boutique retail boulevard, runs alongside the 2 km waterfront promenade: galleries, cafes, concept stores, and a ballet school.
