The Abu Dhabi-based Masdar City has broken ground on The Link, its 30,000sq m sustainable community project.
The Link will feature the region’s first net-zero energy shared living and working facility. It will also boast four low-carbon buildings with event spaces as well as retail offerings, recreational facilities and outdoor plazas.
“It will model a new kind of sustainable community by connecting shared working and living space with other elements of a thriving neighbourhood, including places to shop, play, and relax, and local transportation,” said Ahmed Baghoum, Acting CEO of Masdar City.
A major sustainable development project within the region, The Link will meet several high-level sustainability standards such as Leed Platinum, WELL Gold, 4 Pearl PBRS Estidama and LEED SmartPark Silver.
