Ville 12 Construction - Masdar City, Abu Dhabi

This live construction camera overlooks the Ville 12 residential development rising in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, with the vast flat desert landscape of the surrounding emirate stretching to the horizon behind it. The circular building form taking shape on the upper floors and the scale of the desert beyond give this feed a genuinely distinctive look compared to most construction cameras.

Ville 12 is part of a twin development alongside Ville 11 by Burtville Developments, adding another premium residential cluster to Masdar City's growing community. The sheer scale of undeveloped land visible in the background puts into perspective just how much of this ambitious city still remains to be built, two decades after construction first began.

Did You Know? Masdar City was projected to house 50,000 residents and 40,000 daily commuters when it was first announced in 2008. Progress has been significantly slower than planned, and the city currently has only a few thousand residents, making it a fascinating ongoing experiment in whether a purpose built sustainable city can actually attract people to live in it.
