Nakheel launches Jumeirah Village

01 October 2004

Nakheel, one of the world’s premiere property developers in Dubai, has announced the launch of its latest property development – Jumeirah Village – a new project that creates an idyllic village and community living experience.

Jumeirah Village encompasses more than 6,000 spaciously constructed villas and townhouses set amidst luscious landscaping and unsurpassed leisure and lifestyle amenities to deliver a holistic living experience for its residents. Located just off Sheikh Zayed road, Jumeirah Village lies adjacent to Jumeirah Islands, Nakheel’s signature inland waterfront development and in close proximity to its other iconic developments such as the Palm Jumeirah and Palm Jebel Ali.
The development will house 2,883, two to four bedroom villas and 3,184 one to two bedroom townhouses, built in classic Arabic and Mediterranean architectural styles. These spacious villas and townhouses will have distinctive red roof tiles, arches, carved doors, ornamental spiral columns, patterned tile floors and wall surfaces whose architectural designs follow thematic geometric and floral patterns.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, chairman of Nakheel, said: “Jumeirah Village is Nakheel’s answer to the needs of those individuals and families who are craving for a lifestyle that offers complete peace of mind. The trend for community living is on the rise as more and more people are opting to live in self-sustained communities, where everything they need is well within reach. Jumeirah Village adds a cosmopolitan and kindred hue to the spirit of village living.”
The Jumeirah Village is planned around four distinct themes:
• The Gateway Village, which is the centre-piece to the development, offers diverse retail and leisure facilities as well as a variety of amenities for Jumeirah Village residents and guests;
• The Canal Village, which will feature a scenic and vibrant waterfront lifestyle with luxuriant water views;
• The Paradise Village, which is a synonym to tranquillity with its lush green grounds and plenty of open spaces, where families can enjoy a stroll in landscaped surroundings and well-pruned gardens; and
• The Marina Village, which is unique as it forms the nodal point of all the maritime activities in the village offering berthing space for small boats.
“The four themes have been chosen as they reflect a cosmopolitan lifestyle which is the forte of Jumeirah, Dubai’s most desirable district,” says Bin Sulayem. “Variety forms the central theme of the Jumeirah Village with amenities, landscaping, gardening and the style of architecture, aimed at providing the residents a distinctive feel to the place and making it stand apart in the real sense as a community.”
Jumeirah Village also hosts world class amenities for its residents including two international schools, town and country clubs, community centre, jogging and cycling trails, community sports and leisure facilities such as football and cricket pitch, tennis courts, croquet lawn and swimming pools, medical facilities and veterinary clinics and round the clock security. The Gardens Shopping Mall, which is taking shape right in the vicinity, will provide the residents of Jumeirah Village, a mix of unsurpassed retail and leisure experience
“The development is centrally located near the free zones such as Dubai Media City, Dubai Internet City and the Jebel Ali Free Zone. In addition, mixed-use commercial and residential developments such as the Jumeirah Lake Towers will fuel the need for people who work there to find exceptional residential options nearby,” said Bin Sulayem. “Jumeirah Village caters to their need for inspired living spaces, where peace of mind and security is fully assured.”
