In partnership with COIMA, selected by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP) as partner for the redevelopment of a major Rome site “Guido Reni Barracks”
Mohamed Alabbar “Developing in a city like Rome carries both a tremendous responsibility and a profound privilege. It is about honouring a legacy, listening to a place, and ensuring that what we build enriches people’s lives for generations to come. Through the Guido Reni redevelopment, we aim to create a place that feels authentically Roman, rooted in culture, connected to community, and shaped with care for the future.”
Eagle Hills, the Abu Dhabi–based private real estate investment and development company founded by Mohamed Alabbar, announces a significant milestone in its European expansion. In partnership with COIMA, the company has been selected by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP) as the partner for the transformative large-scale €400 million redevelopment of the historic former Guido Reni Barracks in Rome.
Situated in the cultural heart of the Flaminio district, Rome’s celebrated vibrant hub for contemporary architecture and cultural life, the 5-hectare Guido Reni site sits adjacent to internationally renowned landmarks, including Zaha Hadid’s MAXXI Museum, Renzo Piano’s Auditorium Parco della Musica, and Pier Luigi Nervi’s Palazzetto dello Sport.
Once characterised by 23 former military and industrial buildings, the area will be reimagined as a vibrant mixed-use urban neighbourhood integrating contemporary residential offerings, modern hospitality, high-street retail, and activated community spaces that promote walkability and cultural engagement. The redevelopment envisions a new destination that blends living, culture, hospitality, and community in one connected neighbourhood.
This new venture in Rome represents a defining chapter in Eagle Hills’ European growth journey and marks the company’s latest step in its strategic expansion. It reinforces Eagle Hills’ commitment to shaping mixed-use destinations that honour local heritage, enrich urban life, and contribute meaningfully to the cultural and economic landscape while cultivating integrated lifestyle communities. Following the company’s ongoing investment in the regeneration of Venice’s iconic Hotel Des Bains, the Rome project stands as a major addition to Eagle Hills’ expanding European portfolio and its mission to bring new economic and urban value to major global cities.
