Majid Al Futtaim announces Ghaf Woods real estate development in Dubai, which will include more trees than residents. You’ll soon be able to live in the forest (without leaving Dubai)
Ghaf Woods: A Pioneering Development Integrating Nature and Urban Living
Majid Al Futtaim Properties unveils Ghaf Woods, a groundbreaking development poised to become Dubai’s first-ever forest-living community. This meticulously designed project offers residents the unique opportunity to reside amidst a flourishing ecosystem within the vibrant city center.
A Forest Oasis in the Heart of Dubai
Ghaf Woods, aptly named after the UAE’s national tree, will introduce a staggering 35,000 trees to the urban landscape. Spanning an impressive 738,000 square meters near Global Village, this development promises a trans-formative living experience across eight phases scheduled for completion by 2031.
Beyond Aesthetics: Environmental and Community Benefits
Beyond its visual appeal, the extensive greenery provides a multitude of environmental and community benefits. The trees act as natural air filters, reducing air pollution by up to 20% compared to other city developments. Additionally, they contribute to soil erosion control, water conservation, and temperature regulation, creating a microclimate up to five degrees Celsius cooler than the surrounding areas.
Spacious Living and Unrivaled Amenities
Ghaf Woods prioritizes resident well-being by exceeding global living standards. The development boasts 15 square meters of open space per resident, exceeding the World Health Organization’s recommendation of 10 square meters. This translates to ample room for residents to relax and connect with nature.
A Haven for Active Lifestyles and Family Fun
The community caters to a variety of lifestyles with over 7,000 premium residences, ranging from one-bedroom apartments to spacious penthouses. Forest-lined pathways seamlessly connect neighborhoods, ensuring every resident is within a five-minute walk of any point within the development.
Ghaf Woods fosters an active lifestyle with over eight kilometers of walking trails and a three-and-a-half-kilometer cycling loop. Dedicated swimming pools for adults and children cater to families, while on-site fitness facilities, family-friendly gardens, and a wellness and yoga pavilion promote holistic well-being.
A Commitment to Innovation and Resident Experience
Ahmed El Shamy, CEO of Majid Al Futtaim Properties, emphasizes Ghaf Woods’ unprecedented character: “This launch represents a pivotal moment for Majid Al Futtaim. We are redefining urban living by creating a truly unique experience that reaffirms our position as the region’s lifestyle pioneers.”
Majid Al Futtaim’s extensive portfolio across the region includes 29 shopping malls, 7 hotels, and 4 mixed-use communities, solidifying their commitment to developing innovative and resident-centric projects. Ghaf Woods stands as a testament to this ongoing dedication.
