Dubai-based developer Emaar Properties on Thursday announced plans for a landmark Dh200 billion master-planned development that it says will redefine urban living in the emirate. Spanning more than 4.5 million square metres of gross floor area, the project is expected to accommodate nearly 150,000 residents and become one of the largest mixed-use communities ever undertaken by the company.
The master development will feature a blend of residential towers, ultra-luxury villas and mansions, Grade-A office spaces, retail destinations, hospitality offerings, and a wide range of civic and cultural amenities.
While Emaar did not disclose the location of the project, the number of residential units, or a timeline for sales launches, the developer described it as a “city within a city” and one of its most ambitious undertakings to date.
“What we are about to reveal is our most extraordinary dream yet: a place where the finest architecture, the most immersive landscapes and the most advanced thinking about how people live come together in one magnificent vision,” said Mohamed Alabbar, Founder of Emaar Properties.
“This development reflects our deep confidence in the future of the UAE. This is Emaar at its most ambitious, and Dubai at its most inspiring,” he added.
Iconic Views and Luxury Living
According to Emaar, the residential towers will offer panoramic views of some of Dubai’s most recognisable landmarks, including Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab and Palm Jumeirah.
At the heart of the luxury offering will be an exclusive gated villa enclave featuring expansive five- and six-bedroom residences as well as signature mansions. The homes will be complemented by private gardens, cascading water features and resort-style amenities.
Designed Around the 20-Minute City Concept
The masterplan will be connected to Dubai’s metro network and developed around the principles of the “20-minute city”, enabling residents to access essential services and daily conveniences within a short walk.
The community will integrate smart mobility infrastructure, intelligent building systems and advanced digital connectivity. Features will include EV-friendly pathways, app-based community management and data-driven public services.
Schools, healthcare facilities, mosques, cultural venues and retail centres will be strategically located within walking distance of residential neighbourhoods.
Extensive Green and Blue Spaces
A key feature of the project will be its expansive open spaces, including parks, swimmable lagoons, lakes, linear gardens and water streams woven throughout the community via shaded walkways and dedicated cycling tracks.
A central district park will serve as the development’s social and recreational hub, offering sports courts, event lawns, splash parks, beach areas and outdoor wellness facilities.
Five Distinct Lifestyle Zones
The masterplan will be organised into five character-driven districts, each designed with a unique identity and lifestyle proposition.
Among them will be a Business Hub catering to corporate and entrepreneurial activity, an Urban District focused on vibrant city living, a Young Families Cluster designed for active and creative lifestyles, and a Family Living Zone centred on community-oriented residential experiences.
Emaar said further details, including the project’s location and launch timeline, will be announced at a later stage.
