Al Furjan project to embody

PROPERTY developer Nakheel has announced the launch of Al Furjan – a new approach to a family-oriented community development located in the heart of new Dubai.

Boasting over 4,000 homes complemented by an abundance of open spaces and a multitude of amenities, Al Furjan is being presented as a new model for community living.
Inspired by ‘new urbanism’ principles, the development captures the values of traditional neighbourhood living within four communities. The neighbourhoods provide a sanctuary of well-planned spaces framed by architecture and landscape design that celebrate local history and embrace modern building practice. 
Each community will be defined by its own Village Centre offering a variety of amenities from supermarkets, coffee shops, restaurants, open spaces and gym facilities all within walking distance. Two schools are also planned for Al Furjan.
 Mohammed Rashed Bin Dhabeah, director, Al Furjan, said: “We are delighted to announce the launch of Al Furjan. The name Al Furjan is a local phrase that means a collection of homes or a small village that embodies traditional community values.
“Inspired by new urbanism, we have created a masterplan that has used planning and architectural principles that will work together to create a human-scale, pedestrian friendly, family focused development.”
 Al Furjan combines three, five and six bedroom villas and terraced homes with open spaces for children and families to interact.
Inspired by traditional designs, villas in the first phase of the development will be one of two styles; the Dubai, a local favoured architectural style, or the Quortaj, a fusion of Islamic and Mediterranean architecture.
Within Al Furjan, landscaped pedestrian pathways are woven into the neighbourhoods connecting cul-de-sacs and open spaces, providing a natural connectivity throughout the communities.
Mr Dhabeah added: “Al Furjan provides choices for different budgets, tastes and needs with a variety that is distinctive in the region.
“We have designed Al Furjan with families in mind and the planning principles adopted, complimented by the range of amenities within and surrounding Al Furjan, will create an ideal community to invest in for you and your family to grow.”
The general sales launch will start today.
