The Sustainable City – Yiti, a fully integrated urban mixed-use project being set up in Muscat, has achieved a major construction milestone, clocking more than 25 million safe working hours without a Lost Time Injury (LTI), thus marking another significant milestone as construction continues to progress across Oman’s flagship sustainable development.

The achievement demonstrates the project’s approach to delivery, where safety, quality and operational excellence are embedded into every stage of construction, said a statement from the Omani developer. 

Spanning nearly one million sq m, The Sustainable City – Yiti is being developed as Oman’s first net-zero emissions community. 

Once complete by 2040, it will be home to more than 10,000 residents and integrate sustainability into every aspect of daily life, including climate-responsive homes, 100 per cent water recycling, complete waste diversion from landfill, and up to 80 per cent self-sufficiency in local food production.

As work advances across the masterplan, the milestone provides further confidence in the project’s continued progress and commitment to delivering a resilient, future-ready destination built to the highest international standards, it stated.

Mahmoud Shehada, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at The Sustainable City – Yiti, said: “Reaching more than 25 million safe working hours is a significant achievement that reflects the discipline, collaboration and shared commitment of everyone involved in delivering The Sustainable City – Yiti.”

Construction continues to advance across key residential, hospitality and community assets, including the Yiti Marina Hotel, Plaza, Marine and Wadi Protection Works, Sustainable District Villas as well as the school and nursery.

Work is also in full swing at the Arc luxury serviced apartments, a four-star hotel and wellness centre, alongside landscape and public realm works, thus reflecting The Sustainable City – Yiti’s continued progress towards bringing Oman’s flagship sustainable community to life.
