The workers’ residential city projects have been conceived to address the large demand for workers’ accommodation in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The project need arises from its capacity to support the development of a strong non-oil industrial base in Abu Dhabi and in enhancing the image of the emirate, thereby further attracting investments and the requisite workforce for continued development and growth. Through the development of these facilities, ZonesCorp has sought to balance the national objective of generating immediate capacities against its need for creating self sustaining projects, generating moderate returns to ZonesCorp and the project developers.
