This project is a unique urban opportunity since one single developer owns six plots that are laid in two rows with three on each side of a street. Benefiting from this grouping has created the main advantage of this development project. The University Neighborhood Strip is based on an idea of bringing to life a whole section of a newly developing area in Abu Dhabi which falls within the vicinity of a brand new university campus.

The aim of this mixed use project is to create an atmosphere of activity. The proposed functions mainly including students studios, furnished and nonfurnished apartments as well as a purpose built hotel in addition to recreational functions including gymnasiums, restaurants, shops and showrooms.

The architectural character is based on curving facades of glass, aluminum, cladding and Mashrabiyas . There are many balconies that are subtly introduced to the elevations without imposing any horizontal stacking which projects with balconies usually tend to fall trap to. More special features include roof swimming pools and outdoor terraces on all six main buildings. The bridges that connect two pairs of buildings hold their shared gymnasiums and is a major architectural expression in this project.
