JUMEIRAH Golf Estates (JGE) expects to hand over the first set of villas within its luxury residential golf community located off Dubai’s Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road in the fourth quarter of this year.

Comprising 160 villas, the first batch is part of Whispering Pines, a collection of three- and four-bedroom Mediterranean-style homes overlooking the Fire and Earth courses designed by golfing legend Greg Norman. The Earth course has the distinction of being the venue for the DP World and Race to Dubai Championships since the last four years.

This will be followed by the start of handover of 99 villas from the Flame Tree Ridge community, a cluster of larger four- and five-bedroom homes within the development, in the first quarter of 2014.

Jumeirah Golf Estates, located between Green Community and Dubai Sports City, is currently in Phase A of development and includes the 18-hole Fire and Earth courses. The residential communities that are part of Fire include Orange Lake, Fireside, Sienna Lakes, Sienna Views, Juniper Way, Valencia Grove and Flame Tree Ridge, while Earth comprises Sanctuary Falls, Whispering Pines, Wildflower, Olive Point, Lime Tree Valley East and West and The Sundials communities.

The ongoing phase encompasses 375 hectares of the development’s total 1,119-hectare land parcel, incorporating 13 planned residential communities of 1,050 villas. Seventy-five per cent of all properties face the golf courses, with the rest facing lakes and nature strips. A total of more than 3,000 workers are currently working on the entire project.

JGE is the master developer for Phase A’s Fireside, Flame Tree Ridge and Whispering Pines communities which it offers as built-form residential properties. It offers plots in the Juniper Way and Wildflower districts as well. The other communities are being built by JGE’s sub-developers such as CHI for Lime Tree Valley and Tulip for Olive Point and Sienna Lakes.
