Capital gains: Cityscape Global

Imkan’s AlJurf is one of many top-tier projects being launched at the real estate show.

Cityscape Global, the largest and most influential real estate investment and development event for emerging markets globally, will be the Dubai World Trade Centre 2-4 October.

Imkan, a property developer with a global outlook renowned for creating soulful places that enrich lives, has announced AlJurf, a fully integrated second-home destination along Sahel Al Emarat; the riviera situated in Ghantoot between Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Construction on the 370-hectare project boasting 3.4 kilometers of azure beachfront, and the centerpiece of IMKAN’s exhibit at Cityscape Global 2018, will begin in 2019. The master-planned community is slated to become a pristine second-home destination that seamlessly blends nature, culture and architecture as well as the past, present and future, by offering an authentic and unparalleled experience away from city life.

Once complete, the destination will comprise of three distinct districts,

AlJurf Gardens, Jiwar Al Qasr and Marsa AlJurf, each with its own defining architectural characteristics and a range of facilities and 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, beach clubs and restaurants, community centers, parks, mosques, clinics and a private school.

IMKAN will utilize its IMKAN Box platform to reveal aspects of AlJurf at its stand SAM20. Returning for its fourth edition, the IMKAN Box is a lab, atelier and creative studio that utilizes cutting-edge, research, technology and design, to highlight the company’s developments.

Walid El Hindi, CEO of IMKAN, said: ‘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. A heritage village (Jiwar Al Qasr) and marina district (Marsa AlJurf) will complement the lush precinct’.

Cityscape Global provides the place-maker a perfect platform to introduce domestic and international investors to AlJurf, the country’s first real collection of timeless villas on Sahel Al Emarat’s organic coastline, and between two major urban hubs. The destination, combining culture, living and tourism, is poised to effectively highlight the UAE’s diverse offerings to both local and international investors.

IMKAN seeks to expand its global footprint through innovative projects that foster local culture while integrating into the communities in which it operates. The company is committed to building purpose-driven and soulful places that can enhance the lives of generations to come.
