Dubai Investments Real Estate Company (DIRC) said its latest development, Mirdif Hills, is set to become one of the most popular residential communities in Dubai, UAE.

Mirdif Hills, currently the only freehold project in Mirdif, is a mixed-use residential, commercial and retail development. The development includes 1,054 apartments, a 116-room hotel with 128 serviced apartments, 52 retail outlets and community recreation areas, spread across 3.3 million sq ft.

In recent years, reasonable rents and a growing volume of lifestyle amenities, such as supermarkets, schools, malls, healthcare facilities, parks and entertainment options have increased Mirdif’s popularity among Dubai’s diverse population.

Its strategic location, proximity to the Dubai International Airport and easy access to the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road, Al Khawaneej Road and Al Awir Road have added to its appeal.

Commenting on the project, Obaid Al Salami, the general manager of DIRC, said: "The real estate market in Dubai is always growing but one needs to know where and when to invest. Buying a home, compared to renting, is a great investment towards the future and Mirdif Hills has on offer attractive payment plans for the project, wherein the investors can pay up to 50 per cent during the construction phase and the balance on completion."

Strategically situated adjacent to Mushrif Park, Mirdif Hills offers investors several residential opportunities across its three clusters; Al Multaqa, Janayen and Nasayem Avenues.

Al Multaqa Avenue is located at the heart of the project and consists of a 116-room hotel, 128 serviced apartments, restaurants, cafes, retail spaces and 300 residential units — a mix of studio and one-bedroom apartments.

Janayen Avenue is situated around a gated garden with covered walkways, and other lifestyle attractions. The project comprises residential units of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, three- and four- bedroom duplexes and ‘Vertical Villas’.

Inspired by French architect Le Corbusier, the Vertical Villas are villas built in one building and rising vertically giving it a sustainable and green look.

Finally, Nasayem Avenue is surrounded by a gated community garden and a mix of residential buildings ranging from two- and three-bedroom apartments to three and four bedroom duplexes.

"We are confident that this project will be interesting for everyone as we have various plans and schemes on offer," he noted.

Other key features to be found in Mirdif Hills include mosques, medical centres, nurseries, community center, covered parking, gym, kids play area, outdoor Jacuzzi, 24-hour security and maintenance services and recreational facilities, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
