Dubai real estate developer Majid Al Futtaim has officially launched a massive new real estate development, which will have more trees than residents.
Ghaf Woods in MAF’s first forest living community and will include 7,000 properties and more than 35,000 trees. Additionally, the community’s expansive ratio, at 15sq m of open space per resident, is 50 per cent above the World Health Organisation standards, which are set at 10sq m per person.
The concept which was initially introduced earlier this year at MIPIM 2024, an international real estate event held in Cannes, France, embraces a harmonious living experience marked by thriving greenery, enhanced connectivity and unrivalled sustainability in Dubai.
Ahmed El Shamy, CEO, Majid Al Futtaim Properties, said: “The launch of Ghaf Woods represents an important moment for Majid Al Futtaim. As we enter the fourth decade of creating great moments for our customers, partners and community members, this launch represents a re-founding moment for us to create something never seen before and offer residents a truly unique experience, reconfirming our position as the lifestyle pioneers in the region. Ghaf Woods is more than just a new community – it’s the beginning of a new chapter in premium developments with creative and sustainable community design at its core and we are confident that its appeal will extend far beyond the UAE.”
The community will also feature Distrikt, Majid Al Futtaim’s iconic multi-purpose neighbourhood hub, with an exclusive selection of retail and restaurants boasting farm-to-table cuisine.
