South Shamka Industrial Zone

Following the PLAN ABU DHABI 2030, Abu Dhabi Municipality has decided to perform urban and neighborhood development thru a series of Master Plans: one of these regards the Area of Shamka South, a 6.5×6.5km area some kms SE of the Airport, to the desert side of Emirati Highway.

South Shamkha is a mixed use development for up to 165,000 residents and an estimated 130,000 non-residents working in offices, retail, and commercial activities, served by public and social facilities. The development provides a residential community for people working in the Capital District and Airport District and those in the surrounding districts.

The Central Core was based on creating a walkable downtown and open park structure prove to be attractive in creating a market demand for additional residential, hospitality and office uses, there is ample room for the density to be increased without altering the framework of streets, zoning and open spaces.
