The State-owned Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company, which owns the land and exhibition space, has formed a joint venture partnership with Mount Anvil’s recently launched Royal Docks West development.

Royal Docks West was granted planning permission in February for 105 homes, including 26 affordable homes for local key workers,  amenity space for residents and commercial space.

Now Mount Anvil can expand its ambitions for the area and is working up plans for more housing.
