With the launch of Zawaya, Union Properties will be initiating the first phase of its new masterplan for Motor City that was revealed recently, which is currently estimated to have a completion cost of over AED8bn.

Properties in Zawaya will be built around a main town square, which will serve as the heart of the community, where residents can host pop-up markets, celebrate festive occasions, and gather for recreational activities.
With a total floor area of nearly 37,161sqm, and a retail space of 5,109sqm, Zawaya will consist of 400 residences including studios, deluxe studios, as well as one- and two-bedroom apartments. The 13,749sqm development will also include retail and leisure facilities, a wide range of restaurants and cafés, open green spaces, swimming pools, a fitness center, and courts for squash and basketball.
