Dar Al Funoon

What Dar Al Funoon is

Frank Gehry’s House of the Arts, in build in the Saadiyat Cultural District for 2030: a 2,000-seat performance hall, a 3,500-seat open-air amphitheatre, a studio theatre and a jazz venue, programmed year round with opera, ballet, theatre and contemporary work.

What it means for property nearby

The cultural district’s evening economy, on the way. Museums fill the island by day; a six-thousand-capacity performing arts complex fills it at night, which is what turns a visitor district into a place people insist on living. Another dated catalyst for the island’s off-plan clock.
