A new tower at Pixel, the first phase of IMKAN’s iconic mixed-use project, Makers District, on Reem Island, will be available for purchase next week. The sales launch will take place on March 16th and 17th at IMKAN’s headquarters, located in Mina Zayed, Abu Dhabi. The project is scheduled for completion in Q2 of 2021.
Walid El-Hindi, Chief Executive Officer of IMKAN, said: “Research is infused at every stage of our place-making process, and through the development of Makers District our research has shown that communities thrive where creativity can be expressed, nurtured and cultivated. Pixel has been designed with this very notion at the forefront. We’ve honed in on the most valuable components: the public realm and the negative spaces between buildings to define the community. Pixel is a key milestone in our journey to establish Makers District as an enriched and pulsating development in the capital.”
Pixel is MVRDV’s inaugural project in the United Arab Emirates. The award-wining, Dutch architects have been exhibited and published worldwide and are renowned for ground-breaking design such as Markthal in Rotterdam, Tianjin Binhai Library in China, The Stack in Melbourne, and RED7 in Moscow.
Pixel is promoting forward living in what is set to be Abu Dhabi’s new beating heart. The community will be made up of 525 residential units within seven mixed-use residential towers that are surrounded by quiet pocket gardens and frame a centralized pedestrianized plaza – home to an artisanal mix of F&B, retail spaces and offices. Just 400 metres walk away from Al Reem Island’s first public beach within a community, and 300m away from what will be the buzzing Waterfront Plaza, Pixel is designed to offer occupants a strong sense of community surrounded by an engaging and beautiful environment.
The Pixel community will be located just steps away from The-Artery, IMKAN’s unique hybrid parking garage and event space. The creative hub will portray world-class innovation through contemporary architecture and is geared to stimulate thought-provoking work within an ever-changing space.
Makers District on Reem Island is a scenic waterfront community designed to cultivate creativity, and will be home to “Makers“- artists, entrepreneurs, curators, artisans, SMEs and those who appreciate the presence of a trendy environment that generates a vibrant pulse throughout the neighborhood.
Pixel offers residents a destination to collaborate and engage with their community in an unconventional living space that reflects the best standards in building and design.
