Abu Dhabi National Company for Building Materials, BILDCO, listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, has announced the signing of a strategic partnership with Wujod Real Estate Development to develop an integrated sustainable city project in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.

The partnership reflects the commitment of both companies to supporting Abu Dhabi’s long-term economic diversification strategy by developing a low-density urban destination that brings together sustainable residential living, health and wellness facilities, equestrian activities, innovation hubs, open natural spaces, and modern infrastructure designed to meet the needs of future living.

The project will cover an initial area of approximately 10 million square meters, equivalent to around 107 million square feet. Investments for the first phase are estimated at Dh2 billion, with implementation to proceed in line with the approved development plans and regulatory requirements.

Commenting on the partnership, Shamsa Sulaiman Alfahim, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Abu Dhabi National Company for Building Materials “BILDCO,” stated: “The partnership with Wujod Real Estate Development reflects our continued commitment to excellence, expansion, and ongoing development. It also underscores our dedication to actively contributing to the economic growth of Abu Dhabi and the wider United Arab Emirates.”

She added: “At BILDCO, we are proud of our role as an active partner in supporting the evolution of the UAE’s real estate sector by providing building materials and solutions that meet the requirements of modern developments and contribute to the country’s sustainable urban growth. We continue to enhance our operational and production capabilities in line with the growing needs of the real estate market, while supporting the delivery of quality-driven and sustainability-focused projects.”

Al Fahim continued: “We believe that true growth is tied to our ability to deliver products and services that help build more efficient and sustainable communities, while supporting the vision of Abu Dhabi and the UAE to develop an integrated, future-ready urban environment. Our success is built on strong professional foundations, a specialised team, and strategic partnerships. We remain committed to strengthening our role in supporting major real estate projects and contributing to lasting value for the sector and future generations.”

Issa Ataya, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Wujod Real Estate Development, said: “At Wujod, we do not simply build projects; we seek to shape the future of living. Our vision has always been clear: to go beyond traditional development and create destinations that enhance human wellbeing, elevate lifestyles and establish sustainable value for generations to come. This strategic partnership with BILDCO marks the beginning of a transformational chapter for Abu Dhabi through the development of a low-density urban model centred on sustainability and quality of life.”

He added: “Guided by our philosophy, beyond buildings toward well-being, we view this project as a living ecosystem where nature, wellness, sustainability, hospitality, and community come together to create a new benchmark for long-term lifestyle-led development. It is a place designed not only for people to live, but to inspire, restore, and enrich their lives. The project is designed not only as a residential destination, but as a long-term platform for wellness economies, innovation ecosystems, tourism activation, and sustainable value creation. Our ambition is to create a world-class destination that sets a new benchmark for residential excellence, featuring spacious residential communities, wellness and longevity destinations, equestrian and golf experiences, productive ecological landscapes, integrated lifestyle offerings, and advanced sustainable infrastructure.”

Ataya noted that the project will also serve as a sustainable platform supporting the health and wellness, innovation and tourism sectors. “Our ambition is to develop a leading global destination that sets a new standard for residential excellence through spacious residential clusters, specialised health and wellness facilities, equestrian and golf experiences, productive green spaces, integrated lifestyle amenities and services, as well as advanced and sustainable infrastructure,” he said.

He further emphasised that the collaboration with BILDCO goes beyond the concept of a traditional real estate development. It aims to create an integrated destination that brings together the environment, health, wellness, innovation and modern lifestyles, contributing to sustainable economic, social and environmental value for future generations.

The project also seeks to build a long-term urban legacy that reflects Abu Dhabi’s future ambitions, embodies the concept of integrated living, and highlights the ability of visionary, high-quality projects to enhance quality of life, strengthen community connectivity and support sustainable prosperity.

The development is closely aligned with Abu Dhabi’s strategic priorities in economic diversification, sustainability leadership, tourism growth, the advancement of the health and wellness sectors, innovation, and the attraction of investment and private capital. It also aims to contribute effectively to the emirate’s long-term vision for integrated and future-focused urban development.
