Dubai: With the arid desert climate, people in the UAE can only dream of having a house surrounded by lush greenery, vibrant gardens and nature. But a developer is currently building a new community to help that dream come to life.
Sobha Group has recently unveiled its mega project that seeks to build luxury villas set in the middle of a forest with views of the Dubai Canal and within easy distance from Dubai’s attractions, including the Burj Khalifa, Meydan Mall and Downtown Dubai.
With a hefty price tag ranging between Dh11.1 million and Dh15.42 million, the forest villas will be in a resort-style community called Sobha Hartland.
It is situated along the site of the Dubai Canal extension in Nad Al Sheba 1 near Meydan and will be surrounded by 2.4 million square feet of real trees, greenery, grass and flowers.
Work on the project is already ongoing and so far, two villas are ready and available for viewing, according to the developer. Those who are interested can book a VIP tour with exclusive chauffer service.
The project is currently attracting a lot of investor interest, with more than 70 per cent of phase one and two already sold out, while phase three has recently been launched.
According to PNC Menon, founder and chairman of Sobha Group, there is a demand for luxurious and large villas in the centre of town. “We have designed these exquisite villas keeping in mind each type of lifestyle, investment preference and purpose as there are both multiple options of layouts and sizes.”
“Thirty per cent of the whole project is dedicated to greenery. [We also offer] investors the choice of customising their villas with new facades, colours and a fancier garage parking as per their taste and preference,” said Menon.
The first phase of the project will have 48 villas, expected to be completed in December 2018.
The starting price for a four-bedroom villa is Dh11.1 million and for a five-bedroom villa is Dh15.42 million upwards.
