Lulu Island, a 400-hectare man-made island near Abu Dhabi's Corniche, is poised for redevelopment as part of the capital's long-term expansion strategy. The development project, overseen by Eagle Hills Properties, a prominent Abu Dhabi real estate firm, is expected to bring large residential and commercial projects to the island.
Lulu Island, named after the historic pearl trade in Abu Dhabi, was constructed in the 1990s to act as a breakwater against high tides and has long been considered a prime location for development. The island's beaches, clear waters, and panoramic views of the city have made it a desirable site for significant construction. While previous masterplans have failed to materialize, the island is expected to welcome its first residents in the coming years.
The development is set to take advantage of the island's strategic location, with rumors of bridges connecting it to Abu Dhabi Island and potential access to the Mina Zayed development.
