Oman to Develop $1.3 Billion Waterfront Project Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects #

Oman’s capital, Muscat, is set to undergo a major transformation with a $1.3 billion waterfront development led by Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA). The Al Khuwair Muscat Downtown and Waterfront project will span 3.3 million square meters and will include residential buildings, a marina, a cultural district, canal walkways, and a ministerial campus. The aim of the project is to create a pedestrian-friendly environment with accessible public transport, shading, and cycling infrastructure. Oman is investing heavily in real estate projects as part of its National Vision 2040 strategy to diversify its economy. The project is expected to accommodate over 60,000 people upon completion.
