Aldar and PureHealth Partner to Create Health Longevity Communities

ABU DHABI, UAE – Aldar has partnered with PureHealth to develop health longevity-focused communities that integrate technology, healthcare and wellness into the design and operation of residential environments across Abu Dhabi.

Described as one of the first collaborations of its kind, the partnership combines PureHealth's expertise in healthcare and health longevity science with Aldar's experience in delivering integrated, human-centric master-planned communities. The initiative supports the UAE's ambition to become a global hub for health longevity and sustainable living, aligning with the National Strategy for Wellbeing 2031 and Abu Dhabi's Longevity and Precision Medicine Declaration.

Under the agreement, the two organisations will explore new ways to embed wellness and preventive healthcare into community planning, from the design of homes and neighbourhoods to everyday experiences that promote healthier lifestyles. The collaboration will combine PureHealth's clinical expertise with Aldar's data-driven approach to community development, with the aim of translating longevity science into practical and scalable solutions that enhance quality of life.

Rashed AlQubaisi, Group Chief Operating Officer of PureHealth, said: “This strategic partnership with Aldar represents a significant milestone in our mission to integrate health into every aspect of daily life. Supported by PureHealth’s Pura Clinic – the region’s centre for precision health and health longevity science – we are enabling individuals to take charge of their health with advanced air quality systems and smart beds, to smart mirrors, offering real-time contactless health insights. This collaboration is a strong example of cross-sector innovation that aligns with national goals for population health and health longevity.”

Jonathan Emery, Chief Executive Officer of Aldar Development, said: “Our partnership with PureHealth reflects a shared belief that wellbeing must be built into the places we call home. At Aldar, we see wellness as a defining principle of how we plan, design, and operate our destinations. Together with PureHealth, we are creating communities that enable people to live healthier, longer, and more connected lives, while advancing Abu Dhabi’s reputation as a global benchmark for sustainable, human-centric communities.”

The partnership will also support joint research, knowledge sharing and outcome measurement, reinforcing both organisations' commitment to innovation, evidence-based decision-making and long-term community wellbeing. As the collaboration progresses, Aldar and PureHealth will evaluate opportunities to introduce pilot initiatives across selected communities and assets, helping shape future approaches that combine healthcare, technology and the built environment.

With people spending up to 90% of their time indoors globally, the companies highlighted the importance of the built environment in supporting long-term health, particularly in warmer climates such as the UAE. Indoor air quality, water quality, access to natural daylight and exposure to green spaces have all been identified as key contributors to wellbeing.

By bringing together healthcare and real estate, the partnership aims to improve health outcomes, enhance quality of life and generate long-term community and economic value, further strengthening Abu Dhabi's position as a global centre for life sciences, innovation and sustainable urban development.
