It will occupy 1.32 million square metres (14.2×10^6 sq ft), of which 90% will be dedicated to residential buildings and has a potential of developing 22,000 residential units which will house around 100,000 people whereas the rest will be available for commercial use and recreational facilities.[1]

It will also contain one of the largest parks in the UAE covering an area of 1 million square metres (11×10^6 sq ft). It will be linked to mainland Abu Dhabi by two bridges. It was developed in numerous phases and the first phase was expected to be completed by 2009 and the whole project by 2011.[2]
