Consequently, with the speed of construction that the project is experiencing now, the first phase of the project will be mostly completed by end 2010. The new Abdali Downtown project is the largest in Amman, the capital of Jordan, in terms of its magnitude and impact on the various sectors and activities. Through its collaboration with renowned multinational developers, it has created a core hub and city centre which offers the highest level of technology and a foundation for future business and investment opportunities.
