City of Lights is a striking mixed-use development on Al Reem Island, designed by Tamouh Investments in collaboration with Al Reem and Sorouh. Spanning approximately 140 acres (around 202,000 m²), the community includes 60 towers—52 residential and 8 commercial/office buildings, and can accommodate up to 80,000 residents.
Set adjacent to scenic waterfronts and mangrove greenery, the development promotes a pedestrian-friendly, interconnected lifestyle with landscaped promenades and plazas.
Among its architectural highlights is the Addax Tower, a 60-storey, 282-meter-high skyscraper exclusively dedicated to office use. It features approximately 145,850 m² of column-free, smart office space, supported by a nine-level podium and a 1,111-space multi-storey car park. This iconic tower establishes City of Lights as one of Abu Dhabi’s premier business hubs and brings a high-profile office environment to the waterfront district.
Retail offerings include boutiques, cafés, convenience stores, and restaurants lining waterfront promenades around residential and office towers. The marina plaza, interspersed with palm-lined walkways, invites both residents and professionals to engage with the community, driving casual foot traffic to commercial outlets.
The district benefits from the nearby Reem Mall, Abu Dhabi’s massive retail anchor with over 400 stores, 85 restaurants, and family entertainment attractions including the indoor Snow Abu Dhabi park—enhancing neighborhood commerce and consumer draw.
Its layout emphasizes walkability, with towers interconnected by pedestrian plazas and waterfront promenades.
While Metro service is not yet present, the district enjoys strong road access and is well-connected to Downtown Abu Dhabi. Surrounding infrastructure includes schools, mosques, parks, and supermarkets—greatly benefiting office tenants, residents, and visiting clients alike.
