"It's a luxury property that will be known for its privacy and exclusivity," Nadia Zaal told Gulf News. "Sales began in May this year. We have sold whatever we released. We are looking to release rest of the project in October this year."
The estates and villas are priced between Dh35 million and Dh110 million. There will also be a 60-room resort with room rates ranging from $3,500 to $5,000 per night.
Zaal said the Nurai project will have a construction cycle of two to two-and-a half years. The island can either be reached by a helicopter or by private yachts, although Zaya will provide pickup facilities for Nurai's guests on the Saadiyat Island. Nurai also offers a private helipad and marina with arrivals lounge, a fully-equipped spa and fitness centre, private beaches and water sports facilities.
"We will start levelling and marine works on Nurai from August 1. The construction work will be taken up from September-October this year and the entire project is scheduled for completion by December 15, 2010," said Zaal.
The Nurai project is Zaya's first and the company plans to make announcements on its future projects at Dubai's Cityscape in October.
