Developer Dubai Holding has unveiled the first freehold luxury residential development in its Madinat Jumeirah district.

Spread across 3.85 million sqft, Madinat Jumeirah Living will be located opposite to the Burj al Arab hotel.

The project will feature gated residential clusters, community centre, retail, concierge services, day care centres, play areas, parks and open spaces, gyms and swimming pools and parking facilities.

The residential clusters will be connected through shaded pedestrian walkways and jogging and cycling paths.

Car access will be limited to designated drop off areas, basement and residents parking, a statement said.

The development will also be directly connected to Souq Madinat Jumeirah via an airconditioned pedestrian bridge.

Overall, Madinat Jumeirah Living will “mirror the look and feel” of Madinat Jumeirah resort, reflecting Dubai’s early cultural heritage.

The project will be developed in phases with ground-breaking expected in 2019, the statement said.

The first phase is expected to be completed within 30 months after work begins.
