Bunya, the resident regulatory authority and regional infrastructure developer for Reem Island, near Abu Dhabi city, says work on several key projects on the landmark development is intensifying and on schedule.

Bunya's chief executive Tariq Hatim Sultan, said that 100 per cent of the infrastructure design is finalised and 50 per cent of the advanced enabling earth works for road embankments have now been completed.

When finished, the main arterial road networks will criss-cross some 25km over the 840 hectare natural island, which will be home to approximately 200,000 residents.

"The key infrastructural components for Reem Island are moving closer to reality," he said.

"We are on track to provide effective and efficient regional roads and utilities for phase 1 of the development before the end of next year."

Bunya is owned by the three master developers of Reem Island, Tamouh Investments, Sorouh Real Estate and Reem Investments, and is the municipal and resident regulatory authority and developer of regional infrastructure, utilities and sewage treatment on Reem Island.

Reem Island is the landmark waterfront residential, commercial and business project currently being built on a natural Island, located just off the north-eastern coast of Abu Dhabi city. It is expected to become the premier residential and commercial address in the city and to introduce a new way of living.

The island will have all the necessary infrastructure and services to become a self-contained city.
