Al Barakah International Investment (BII), in partnership with Abu Dhabi Municipality has announced the progress of their joint waterfront development, Al Qana. The public-private-partnership project is set to offer a modern lifestyle experience in Abu Dhabi and will open in Q4 2020.
According to a statement from the company, Al Qana will have seven key districts spanning over 2.4 km of waterfront walkways accompanied by landscaped community spaces. Amenities include F&B outlets, cinema experiences, and a skate-park. One of a kind attractions such as the Middle East’s largest aquarium, first-of-its-kind wellness hub, a VR park, and a yacht marina are some of the other facilities Al Qana will provide, it stated.
Moataz Mashal, managing director of BII said: “Al Qana will offer a new lifestyle for residents through exciting dining destinations and convenient facilities, whilst also being an attractive place for tourists to visit, in close proximity to many of the most famous landmarks in the capital.”

In line with the current trend of providing a healthy and balanced lifestyle, the mixed-use project will focus on recreation and fun, with 50 per cent of the leasable area assigned to entertainment, the developer stated.

Al Qana is located on the historic natural Khor Al Maqta, the waterway bordering the mainland near the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and is in a prime location for both residents and tourists.
