Construction will be restricted to 21,832,214.40m² with the remaining expanse reserved for beaches, green spaces, and open squares, an approach that will provide more than 60% of the total land area for public spaces. Overall, the project will have
16kms of waterfront, including three kms of original white-sand beaches.

Of the built up area, residential buildings will make up 52%, offices 22%, retail stores 11%, hotels 8%, with warehousing, storage and infrastructure making up the remaining 7%.

The government of Ajman has granted free zone and freehold status to the project to facilitate investments and ownership. An 8.5km highway will link Al Zorah directly to Emirates Road which will make it easy for residents to commute to Dubai and Sharjah.

"The major road network will allow access throughout the site for construction traffic in addition to achieving the required design levels for the final road construction. With works currently underway, we will be able to complete the various construction phases of the project as per the contract schedule and meet the deadline set for hand over," says Dana.

The Al Zorah's master plan has been produced and managed by Solidere International and the concept design stage has been completed by Dar Al Handasah and Cowi. These two consultants are now working on the preliminary design stage which will soon move to the detailed design stage.
