Dubai real estate developer, Majid Al Futtaim, has officially launched its groundbreaking project, Ghaf Woods, marking a significant milestone in the city’s urban landscape. This ambitious development is set to redefine the concept of residential living, blending nature seamlessly with modern amenities.
Ghaf Woods, MAF’s first forest living community, is designed to offer residents an unparalleled living experience characterized by lush greenery, enhanced connectivity, and unrivaled sustainability. Spread across 738,000 square meters of land off the Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Highway, near Dubai’s Global Village, the community will feature more than 7,000 premium units nestled within a thriving woodland.
One of the most striking aspects of Ghaf Woods is its commitment to sustainability. With over 35,000 trees, including the iconic Ghaf tree, the development aims to create a “Green Lung” in the heart of Dubai, providing cleaner air and a cooler environment compared to traditional urban settings. The abundance of trees not only enhances air quality but also reduces soil erosion and conserves water, making Ghaf Woods a model for environmentally conscious living.
In addition to its environmental benefits, Ghaf Woods prioritizes residents’ well-being and lifestyle preferences. The community boasts a diverse range of amenities, including eight kilometers of walking trails, a three and a half-kilometer biking loop, resort-style pools, fitness facilities, family-friendly gardens, and a wellness pavilion. Residents will also have access to Distrikt, a vibrant neighborhood hub featuring retail outlets and restaurants offering farm-to-table cuisine.
Ahmed El Shamy, CEO of Majid Al Futtaim Properties, expressed excitement about the project, stating, “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.”
With its innovative approach to urban planning and commitment to sustainability, Ghaf Woods sets a new standard for residential developments in Dubai. As the community takes shape over the coming years, it is poised to become a beacon of green living and a testament to Majid Al Futtaim’s dedication to shaping a better future for the region.
