History

Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi is the result of a partnership agreement signed in 2006 between Mubadala Development Company and Cleveland Clinic.

The hospital was officially inaugurated on December 3, 2015 by Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. This 364 (expandable to 490) bed facility is a unique and unparalleled extension of US-based Cleveland Clinic Model of Care, providing direct access to the world's best healthcare, reducing the need for patients in the region to travel abroad for treatment. It is currently one of the largest and the most expensive healthcare facility in the Middle East.

Construction of the project began with Mubadala Development Company appointing Aldar Properties in 2007 as the project's development manager, to oversee the design, construction and commissioning of the hospital. The building was designed by HDR, with Aedas serving as project architects and constructed by partners Six Construct (which owns 60% of the joint venture) and South Korean firm Samsung C&T Corporation (40%), the same team which built the world's tallest tower Burj Khalifa. The hospital was initially scheduled to begin full-service operations to patients by the fourth quarter of 2013. Construction was delayed for another 18 months prior to opening its facility to the public in May 2015 due to logistic challenges faced by the massive size of the project. The building is currently the largest structural steel building in the UAE, weighing in at more than 30,000 tonnes.

The hospital received LEED Gold certification in 2014 for its design that promotes a sustainable environment.
