The company said sustainable development will be the ethos behind Mushrif Heights, which will be spread over 400 hectares and include villas, town homes and apartments, as well as parks, walkways, and landscaped gardens.

Emaar, which is building the tallest tower in the world, said the development will also feature amenities such as a school, a mosque, retail outlets and other leisure and recreational facilities.
