The AED 12 billion project is the latest addition to Emaar's rich property roster in Dubai including Downtown Burj Dubai, Arabian Ranches, Emirates Living, Dubai Marina and Warsan Estate. Sale of Sidra town homes, the first phase of the project, is scheduled for August 23, 2008.
Designed on the premise of 'Living in Harmony' with nature, Mushrif Heights is located near Al Awir and is in close proximity to Mushrif Park. The location allows for easy access to Dubai's business hubs, while enjoying the serene atmosphere of quieter surroundings. The new neighborhood complements Emaar's strategy of creating newer economic growth engines in various Dubai districts.
To be built around green hills and spread over 44 million sq ft, Mushrif Heights will be an integrated neighbourhood of villas, town homes and apartments that offer residents a range of eco-friendly innovations and environmentally conscious features that create a community in harmony with nature. In addition to parks, walkways, and landscaped gardens, Mushrif Heights will feature a range of amenities including a school, town centres, a mosque, retail outlets and other leisure & recreational facilities. A central feature of the community will be a hill sanctuary offering spectacular views of the pristine surroundings – an ideal getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Mr Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director – UAE, Emaar Properties, said: "Sustainable developmental initiatives are gaining importance today with Dubai already having taken the lead in designing and promoting green, energy-efficient buildings. Mushrif Heights is part of Emaar's commitment to this social responsibility, and we are creating a new eco-friendly community where the focus is on integrating every day living with the natural environment."
He added: "Away from the bustle of the city, Mushrif Heights will set a new development dynamic for Dubai, as it also energizes the Mushrif locality. All aspects of the project are in line with Emaar's overall development ethos of creating integrated communities that meet all lifestyle needs of residents."
Masterplanning of Mushrif Heights is progressing, and envisages the development of villa and town home communities and low-rise towers with homes featuring Moorish-style architectural elements. Envisioned to be a 'sanctuary within a sanctuary', the master plan of Mushrif Heights has been designed to retain its natural surroundings, thus offering residents the opportunity to take part in conservation and preservation of natural flora and fauna.
Sidra town homes at Mushrif Heights are inspired by the Arabic heritage with emphasis on bright, spacious and welcoming living spaces. With luxury finishes and modern fittings, the homes have spacious balconies that open to nature. Ranging in size from 2,325 to 3,642 sq ft and comprising two-, three- and four bedrooms, Sidra town homes come with a choice of garden, courtyard and roof-decks.
Mushrif Heights enjoys excellent road access from the Al Khail and Emirates Road, and is only 15 minutes from the Dubai International Airport.
