Aldar will implement the UAE’s first cloud-based smart district management system at Saadiyat Grove using Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio and Building X platform. This project represents the largest global investment in smart technology within a mixed-use real estate development.

AI technologies will enhance safety and security while enabling predictive maintenance, and Internet of Things sensors will monitor air quality and noise levels. The platform will track asset lifecycles and include digital twins of the district to optimize operational efficiency.
