Ajman’s Al Zorah launches projects worth $408m

Golf Estates gated community and Al Zorah Beach Residences are part of Al Zorah mega project

Al Zorah Development Company, a joint partnership between the Government of Ajman and Solidere International, has unveiled two new communities with a development value of AED1.5 billion ($408 million), within its self-sustained 5.4 million square metre development, at Cityscape Global.

The Golf Estates gated community is a combination of villas, townhouses and apartments set on the 18-hole Nicklaus Design Golf Course within The Fairways district while the Al Zorah Beach Residences comprises chalet-style villas and apartments in The Shores district, in what will be the country’s first residential property on the beach right next to a golf course.

Both Golf Estates and Beach Residences will start construction in early 2016 with the former scheduled for completion in 36 months and the latter in 24 months. 

Imad Dana, CEO of Al Zorah Development Company, said: “Al Zorah is envisioned to be a one-of-a-kind destination which will bring a new lease of life into the UAE’s real estate sector.”

Dana added: “800 units will make up the Golf Estates Community, through apartments, villas and townhouses, and will also include a retail element to cater to the needs of the community. These will be designed keeping in mind the overall conscious effort to maintain the outdoor feel of the development.”

Al Zorah Beach Residences will feature 134 units and will be set just 50 metres from the beachfront.

The initial phase of the development includes an 18-hole Nicklaus Design golf course and clubhouse which will be open for golf enthusiasts in December this year, to be followed by 42 exclusive Golf Villas by mid next year.

Early 2016 will see first of the four marinas open to boat and yacht owners even as all landscaping and infrastructure works are completed. Early-2016 will also see the premium 5-star Oberoi Al Zorah Resort open for business.
