Keturah™ Al Ain

1. Executive Summary

Keturah Al Ain (the “Project”) is a 334-hectare ultra-low-density wellness and heritage development located in the Eastern Region of Al Ain, Emirate of Abu Dhabi, immediately adjacent to the Hafit and Hili UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The masterplan delivers 1,670,000 sqm of Gross Floor Area at a Gross FAR of 0.50, strictly within the UNESCO G+2 height framework.

Delivery of the Project is structured in three sequential phases over approximately seven years, anchored by the Keturah™ brand and grounded in BlueZone longevity principles and the Qibla-aligned spatial heritage of Al Ain. Total estimated hard construction cost is AED 10.855 billion, with AED 370 million in fixed infrastructure CapEx and an AED 561 million contingency reserve. The Project targets a Project IRR of 18% and an equity multiple of 2.5x, supported by phased residential sales, hospitality operations, and recurring retail and community-management income.

2. About Keturah

Keturah™ is the luxury wellness brand and development platform of MAG Property Development, which is the issuing entity of this LOI. The brand develops integrated communities at the intersection of biological design science, regional heritage, and sustainable architecture. The Project is the brand’s most extensive horizontal expression to date — scaled for desert privacy, designed for human longevity, and positioned at the cultural heart of the United Arab Emirates.

3. Strategic Alignment

The Project advances Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030, the Al Ain UNESCO Master Plan, and the Emirate’s strategic shift toward heritage-led, low-density, wellness-anchored residential and tourism investment. Through strict G+2 compliance, the masterplan preserves the Al Ain skyline and the visual integrity of the Hafit and Hili heritage corridor, while contributing a diversified and sustainable economic asset to the Eastern Region.

5. Design & Sustainability

The Project is rooted in Islamic spatial tradition and biological design science. The masterplan is organised on the Qibla axis, with low horizontal massing that preserves the Al Ain skyline and frames the surrounding heritage landscape. Architecture is delivered in a vernacular contemporary language using rammed earth, compressed earth blocks, local stone, and timber, with circadian-aligned orientation and natural ventilation embedded throughout.

Sustainability is engineered into every scale of the Project: a 40% reduction in cooling load through passive design, a 50% reduction in potable water use, 100% Treated Sewage Effluent irrigation, 80% native species planting, and a 90% construction waste-diversion target. A continuous Green Web of fifteen kilometres of shaded trails ensures every residence sits within a five-minute walk of nature. The Project commits to organic, chemical-free maintenance to protect the aquifer and the long-term ecological integrity of the site.

6. Financial Overview & Phasing

Total estimated hard construction cost is AED 10.855 billion (1,670,000 sqm × AED 6,500/sqm). Infrastructure CapEx is fixed at AED 370 million, supported by an AED 561 million contingency reserve (5% of hard cost). Capital structure: the initial SPV capital stack at financial close is structured 60:40 debt-to-equity. Subsequent phase construction is funded progressively from off-plan sales receipts, reducing external debt reliance over time and minimising sponsor balance-sheet exposure.

Revenue model: front-loaded residential off-plan sales (the core driver of capital), recurring hospitality operations from the boutique resort, wellness centre and eco-lodge, and recurring retail-leasing and community service-charge income. Indicative revenue composition: 70% residential sales, 15% hospitality, 10% retail and leasing, 5% recurring service charges. Returns target: Project IRR of 18% with an equity multiple of 2.5x, outperforming regional luxury benchmarks.

Phasing — three sequential phases over Years 1–7

Phase 1 (Years 1–3) — The Core. Site enablement, central infrastructure, the 60-key boutique wellness resort and medical spa, the Founders’ Enclave (40 premium Sanctuary Villas), and regeneration of the 50,000 sqm central green spine.

Phase 2 (Years 3–5) — The Expansion. Community core and the Oasis Estates (60 premium 4–5 bedroom villas), the 5,000 sqm Wellness Souq retail core, and a two-kilometre extension of the central park and falaj system.

Phase 3 (Years 5–7) — The Crowning Jewel. Twenty bespoke Royal Reserve estates, the 40-key boutique Eco-Lodge, the Heritage Park and archaeological buffer-zone interpretive trails, and full commissioning of the smart-grid and water-recycling backbone.

7. Economic Value

The Project is positioned at the most defensible end of the regional luxury market: ultra-low density, brand-led, heritage-integrated, and wellness-anchored. The product carries a structural premium driven by the Keturah™ brand, the Qibla-aligned masterplan, the UNESCO adjacency, and circadian-design principles applied across every typology. Differentiation is structural rather than promotional. Long-term value creation derives from sustainable absorption of premium units, recurring hospitality and retail income, and a brand-led pricing premium that compounds across phases as the destination matures.

8. Requests to Authority

In alignment with the Emirate’s long-term development strategy, MAG invites the Al Ain Development Authority, the Department of Municipalities and Transport, and relevant emirate-level bodies to engage as strategic partners in delivering the Project as a flagship heritage-and-wellness destination. In support of the Project’s expedited and compliant delivery, the following are respectfully sought:
