Breathing modernity into the center of Jordan, the Abdali Urban Regeneration project will truly metamorphose the mundane architectural conventions of the country. As the largest mixed-use development project Jordan has ever seen, Abdali will completely recreate Amman’s central downtown district. With the fast-growing economy of Jordan, there is definitely a need for an upscale development like that of Abdali. Strategically located in the heart of Amman, the new downtown project is based on 447,000 square meters of land — owned by the National Resources Investment and Development Corporation (Mawared) — and holds an investment value of just over $3 billion. As the military’s business arm, Mawared, is the largest real estate developer in Jordan. The total built-up area (BUA) of Phase I alone is 1.08 million square meters, and is planned for completion by 2010. Phase II’s BUA measures in at 723,000 square meters and is hoped to be finished
