Abu Dhabi Executive Council Approvals Set Path for Housing Loans and Liveability Projects

The Abu Dhabi Executive Council approved AED2.31 billion in house loans for 1,250 citizens to build or complete homes across the emirate. It also approved a AED42 billion expansion of the Liveability Strategy and issued a resolution appointing Ahmed Fadhel Almehairbi as the new Director-General of Abu Dhabi City Municipality.

Housing Loans for Citizens

The approved loans target citizens seeking to construct or finish residential properties in multiple areas of the emirate. This funding follows standard Executive Council processes for citizen housing support and will be administered through established channels at the municipality level.

Liveability Strategy Expansion

The AED42 billion expansion builds directly on 2025 results that delivered more than 200 parks, 24 schools and 283 cycling tracks. The additional allocation focuses on further quality-of-life improvements and will guide project selection and delivery priorities in coming periods.

Municipal Leadership Transition

Ahmed Fadhel Almehairbi assumes the Director-General role at Abu Dhabi City Municipality following the Executive Council resolution. The change places responsibility for coordinating approved projects, including housing and civic works, under the new leadership.

Civic Projects in Khalifa Cities

Major civic projects planned for Khalifa 'A' and 'B' cities include 200 new houses along with bridge infrastructure. These works fall under the municipality's remit and will proceed according to the timelines set by the Executive Council approvals.

Implementation of the house loans, Liveability Strategy expansion and Khalifa cities projects will now move to the operational stage under Abu Dhabi City Municipality. Residents seeking housing support can follow standard application routes through the municipality, while progress on parks, schools and cycling infrastructure will be tracked against the expanded strategy budget.
