Development of the Month: Waterfront living redefined in Dubai at Tilal Al Ghaf
Bayut is pleased to present November’s development of the month: Majid Al Futtaim’s spectacular new flagship project in Dubai, Tilal Al Ghaf.
Tilal Al Ghaf is Majid Al Futtaim’s fourth community and is the epitome of high-end living in Dubai. Located adjacent to Dubai Sports City, Tilal Al Ghaf is a mixed-use community with 6,500 residential units ranging from apartments, townhouses and villas. This large-scale development will redefine waterfront living with the crystal waters of the swimmable Lagoon Al Ghaf as the centrepiece of the development. The Tilal Al Ghaf development also stands out as the ideal family destination with landscaped open spaces, nature corridors and lush parks. Apart from exquisitely designed homes, Tilal Al Ghaf will also offer residents a unique retail experience at the community centre of The Hive. The entire development sprawls across 3 million sqm and will be built in multiple phases with completion expected by 2027.
This off-plan development in Dubai also made waves in the real-estate industry because of its sustainability goals. In line with Majid Al Futtaim’s commitment to sustainability, Tilal Al Ghaf is designed to create a smaller carbon footprint for the community.
