The launch of Downtown UAQ represents a defining moment for the emirate’s evolving urban landscape, by offering an iconic master plan envisioned as a Coastal City Within a City.

This transformative destination is set to redefine coastal living, seamlessly blending nature, luxury, and modernity to create a world-class enclave of distinction.

Spread across an expansive 25 million square feet land parcel, Downtown UAQ boasts an extraordinary 11 kilometres of uninterrupted shoreline, including 7 kilometres of pristine beach and beach park. This uninterrupted stretch of coastline is a signature element of the development, amplifying its allure while providing a breathtaking canvas for leisure, tourism, and tranquil waterfront living.

Envisioned as a globally celebrated address, Downtown UAQ invites residents and visitors into an ecosystem where every element is thoughtfully curated for an elevated lifestyle.

At the heart of this visionary community lies a holistic urban plan comprising three distinct districts- North Beach, Trade Centre and South Beach.

The development will feature UAQ Trade Centre, commercial offices, hospitality developments comprising luxurious five-star hotels and resorts, entertainment and recreational hub, flagship retail destination and residential communities.

Meticulously balancing residential, commercial, and public spaces, Downtown UAQ is designed as a self-sustaining community where sophistication and functionality meet in harmony and envisaged to accommodate a vibrant population of about 150,000.

The Government of Umm Al Quwain in collaboration with Sobha Realty, a leading multinational master developer renowned for its luxury craftsmanship has been entrusted with the development, the first phase of which will include iconic residential, commercial, hospitality communities, among other features.

The Government of Umm Al Quwain noted that Downtown UAQ marks a new era of economic vitality for the emirate, emerging as a powerful magnet for investment, innovation, and international collaboration. At the core of this economic vision is a 15 million square foot Trade Centre Free Zone, governed by an independent legal framework, establishing the district as a premier destination for global business, cultural exchange, and opportunity.
