Al Qana, Abu Dhabi’s exciting new social dining and entertainment destination that is set to open in Q4 2020, is drawing interest from a range of local and international brands. Over the past month, the team at Al Qana have hosted more than 50 F&B chains and outlets, including 15 that are brand new to the UAE market.
With 2.4km of panoramic waterfront, Al Qana will provide a pinnacle destination for residents and tourists in Abu Dhabi, offering unique lifestyle experiences. These will include local and international F&B outlets, an outdoor skatepark and lush landscapes, fitness & wellness hub, world-class family and community social spaces, a never seen before virtual reality zone, marina, the largest stand-alone cinema in Abu Dhabi and the Middle East’s largest aquarium.
As the project steers towards its target opening, Al Qana has signed over 52 per cent of the leasable spaces to entertainment and anchor attractions, and moves the strategy to conclude attractive and unique concepts into the remaining space.
Al Qana is also successfully getting international recognition as a unique destination. Todd English, celebrity chef and international restaurant owner, said during his tour at the site: “I’m excited by places that bring people together and offer something different. Al Qana does just that and we’re thrilled at the opportunity of opening a new concept on the waterfront.”
David Cassidy, Senior Leasing Manager at Landmark Group said in a statement: “Al Qana is taking shape quickly and is a very exciting project. The hugely impressive National Aquarium and various F&B/leisure elements will make it a must visit national attraction for both tourists and residents.”
