The first stage of construction of the project, Al Furjan, is due to begin during the initial half of 2008. The handover of the terraced homes and villas will be complete by the year 2010. The completion date for the entire 560 hectare development has been scheduled towards 2013.
Experts are of the opinion that this project will address the immediate requirement of villas in the emirate. The Al Furjan development comprises three, five and six bedroom villas and smaller terraced homes. The unit price begins at a range of Dh.2 million, and higher.
The project will be sold in phases. The first phase will consist of 800 units or more, and house 3,000 people. The other phases will be launched later, with about 4000 homes and 5000 residential apartments in the mixed-retail units, and hotels.
The Al Furjan will be the largest villa community ever launched by Nakheel. The officials say that the company plans to create a family-oriented community. The master-plan comprises play areas, open space and pathways. Every community will have its own village center, with other amenities ranging from supermarkets and coffee-shops to restaurants, gym facilities and open spaces.
