IMKAN has launched a new resort called Aljurf, a “fully integrated second-home destination”, at Cityscape Global 2018.
The property developer said construction of the 370ha project on a 3.4km stretch of “azure beachfront” at Sahel Al Emarat, the riviera situated in Ghantoot between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, will begin next year.
“The master-planned community is slated to become a pristine second-home destination that seamlessly blends nature, culture and architecture by offering an authentic and unparalleled experience away from city life,” said IMKAN in a statement.
It added that the destination will comprise three distinct districts, AlJurf Gardens, Jiwar Al Qasr and Marsa AlJurf, each with its own defining architectural characteristics and a range of amenities. The destination will feature two marinas, private berths, a town-center, hotels, retail, a wellness resort and clinic component, serviced residences and villas. AlJurf will also provide residents with access to public and private beaches, a beach club and restaurant, a community center, parks, mosques, clinics and a private school.
“IMKAN will plant the seed for a whole new lifestyle using its unique approach to community-building,” said Jassim Alseddiqi, board member, IMKAN and CEO of Abu Dhabi Financial Group (ADFG). ” Our first coastal destination will merge the innovative design styles and standards on Sahel Al Emarat by marrying traditional inspiration with strong modern elements and breathtaking vistas. We look forward to the influence AlJurf will have on the country’s coastal property landscape and welcome the opportunity for buyers to invest in a one-of-a-kind project.”
Walid El Hindi, CEO of IMKAN, added that the first phase of AlJurf Gardens is scheduled for completion in 2021, “it will comprise of 293 villas and plots set in a uniquely green environment featuring private coastal ranches and chalets reminiscent of Rivieras similar to the Hamptons in New York.
