The developer, owned by Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris, awarded a 142 million UAE dirhams ($39 million) enabling works contract to NMDC for the 4.8-million-square-metre (sqm) project ahead of construction of Phase 1, scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026.
Phase 1 includes approximately 805 villas and townhouses, offering 10 distinct typologies, with a selection of 3-8 bedrooms residences spread across four gated clusters, the company said in a press statement.
Units will be delivered starting from December 2028.
