【ADF Web Magazine】X Architects Proposes Zayed Waterfront for Abu Dhabi's Historic Port2026.09.29 UP Architecture and urban design practice X Architects has unveiled “Zayed Waterfront,” a proposal to reimagine Mina Zayed, Abu Dhabi’s historic port district. The conceptual masterplan covers approximately 2.3 million square metres and is organised into three districts focused on cruises, business and resort activities. It would retain the area’s working maritime character while extending public space from the Corniche into the port and towards Saadiyat Island. Plazas, promenades, water transport, cultural facilities and coastal planting come together in a visioning proposal, rather than a completed development. |
