Modon Holding has officially awarded a major main construction contract valued at AED 1 billion ($272 million) to Trojan Construction Group for the development of its Maysan project on Reem Island, Abu Dhabi. This significant award marks a pivotal step in the realization of Modon’s latest luxury residential masterplan, which is designed to introduce new living concepts to the UAE capital.
The contract encompasses the comprehensive execution of the first two residential districts within the development, Mayar and Thoraya. Additionally, it signals the developer’s commitment to accelerating delivery on one of Abu Dhabi’s most sought-after island destinations. By partnering with Trojan Construction Group, a contractor with a formidable track record in the region, Modon aims to ensure that the project meets the highest international standards of quality and sustainability while adhering to its ambitious delivery timelines.
Introducing “Stacked Maisonettes” to Abu Dhabi
The scope of the contract covers the construction of two distinct neighborhoods that blend modern architectural design with community-focused living. The Mayar district is set to introduce a residential typology previously unseen in the Abu Dhabi market: the “stacked maisonette.” This innovative design concept will feature 132 of these unique units alongside 60 premium townhouses. Furthermore, it will offer a sophisticated, resort-style living experience within a secure, gated environment. The design strategy focuses on maximizing space and blending indoor and outdoor living. It caters to a demographic looking for the convenience of an apartment with the privacy and layout of a townhouse.
Parallel to Mayar, the Thoraya district is designed to cater to the high demand for spacious family homes. This precinct will comprise 184 architecturally distinctive townhouses, accessed via a private entrance to ensure exclusivity. These units are positioned to offer residents a serene lifestyle with direct access to communal gardens, children’s play areas, and gyms. The development of these districts is underpinned by a green spine—a recreational linear park that connects the communities, encouraging a pedestrian-friendly lifestyle and social interaction among residents.
Strategic Growth on Reem Island
The award of this contract reinforces Reem Island’s status as one of the fastest-growing residential zones in Abu Dhabi. Modon’s investment in Maysan aligns with the broader strategic vision of the Abu Dhabi government—paralleling major regional developments like Dubai’s Union Properties’ unveiling of the $545 million Mirdad residential campus in Motor City—to create vibrant, sustainable communities that enhance the quality of life for residents and attract foreign investment. “This contract reflects our commitment to creating long-term sustainable value,” stated Modon in a press release, emphasizing that the project is more than just housing; it is about building an integrated ecosystem complete with a community center, beach access, and lifestyle amenities.
As construction mobilizes, the project is expected to generate significant economic activity and employment opportunities in the construction sector. This will further buoy the non-oil economy of the emirate. With completion anticipated in late 2027, Maysan is poised to set a new benchmark for boutique-style luxury living in the capital.
