Abu Dhabi developer Bloom Holding launched the second phase of its Bloom Living project, which on completion will offer more than 4,000 residential units.

The second phase, called Toledo, includes town houses and detached villas and is named after the ancient Spanish city.

Prices start from Dh1.6 million ($435,670) and completion is due in the second quarter of 2025, the developer said in a statement on Monday.

The latest launch comes after the project's first phase, Cordoba, “sold out within four hours of release” to the market, Bloom Holding said.

“The encouraging sales to date is a testament to our approach of offering a community that sets a benchmark in mixed-use luxury … and we are confident that these units will be equally well-received,” said Carlos Wakim, chief executive at Bloom Holding.

Bloom Living, which will span an area of 2.2 million square metres, will include a clinic, two international schools and a plaza with shops, cafes and restaurants.

The project will be close to Abu Dhabi International Airport and Zayed City, also known as Khalifa City C, and the first phase is scheduled for completion by October next year.

A large lake in the heart of the district is intended to be a focal point around which residents can walk, run and cycle.

Abu Dhabi recorded 7,474 property transactions worth more than Dh22.51 billion in the first six months of the year, as the UAE’s property market continues to rebound from the coronavirus-induced slowdown.

Bloom Living is one of a number of significant property projects announced in Abu Dhabi this year.

Others include Aldar's Yas Golf Collection and Yas Gate Park on Yas Island, plus apartments at Grove District on Abu Dhabi's Saadiyat Island.

Aldar is also developing The Louvre Residences on Saadiyat Island, while Reem Hills, an Dh8bn gated community, was announced for Reem Island and Imkan is developing the second phase of its Riviera development on the coast between Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Salah in numbers

€39 million: Liverpool agreed a fee, including add-ons, in the region of €39m (nearly Dh176m) to sign Salah from Roma last year. The exchange rate at the time meant that cost the Reds £34.3m - a bargain given his performances since.

13: The 25-year-old player was not a complete stranger to the Premier League when he arrived at Liverpool this summer. However, during his previous stint at Chelsea, he made just 13 Premier League appearances, seven of which were off the bench, and scored only twice.

57: It was in the 57th minute of his Liverpool bow when Salah opened his account for the Reds in the 3-3 draw with Watford back in August. The Egyptian prodded the ball over the line from close range after latching onto Roberto Firmino's attempted lob.

7: Salah's best scoring streak of the season occurred between an FA Cup tie against West Brom on January 27 and a Premier League win over Newcastle on March 3. He scored for seven games running in all competitions and struck twice against Tottenham.

3: This season Salah became the first player in Premier League history to win the player of the month award three times during a term. He was voted as the division's best player in November, February and March.

40: Salah joined Roger Hunt and Ian Rush as the only players in Liverpool's history to have scored 40 times in a single season when he headed home against Bournemouth at Anfield earlier this month.

30: The goal against Bournemouth ensured the Egyptian achieved another milestone in becoming the first African player to score 30 times across one Premier League campaign.

8: As well as his fine form in England, Salah has also scored eight times in the tournament phase of this season's Champions League. Only Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, with 15 to his credit, has found the net more often in the group stages and knockout rounds of Europe's premier club competition.
