Majid Al Futtaim’s flagship lifestyle destination in Dubai, Tilal Al Ghaf, has received a silver rating level by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) for its Sales and Experience Centre – the region's first Zero Positive Building.

Tilal Al Ghaf, which has been recognised for its ongoing sustainability efforts and its role in improving residents’ health and well-being, received the WELL certification, which is a global standard that recognises buildings that prioritise human health and well-being. 

The accolade was based on seven categories of building performance. Tilal Al Ghaf’s Sales & Experience Centre was recognised for its features including daylight and views, air and water quality, green cleaning and pest control management, fitness, thermal and acoustic comfort, ventilation and filtration systems as well as adopting a no smoking policy.

Ahmed El Shamy, CEO, Majid Al Futtaim Properties, said: "At Majid Al Futtaim, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We believe that creating thriving communities goes hand in hand with safeguarding our environment and enhancing the quality of life for everyone who lives, works, and visits our developments."

“Achieving the WELL Certification for Tilal Al Ghaf's Sales & Experience Centre is a milestone that reflects our unwavering commitment to promoting harmony between people and nature, and fostering resilient communities that will thrive for generations to come.

“We remain steadfast in our pursuit of sustainable design and placemaking excellence, striving not only to meet but to exceed global standards in every project we undertake.”

Set to redefine luxury resort-like living, Tilal Al Ghaf adheres to a development approach rooted in human-centric design and robust sustainability standards.

It combines nature with modernity to create a community that implements the best environmental practices and enhances the welfare of its residents.

With a recreational lagoon, white sandy beaches, expansive open parks, and trails for cycling and walking, Tilal Al Ghaf is a community built with wellness for all at its core.

Located at the heart of Tilal Al Ghaf, on the banks of the Lagoon Al Ghaf, the Sales & Experience Centre features a floor to ceiling glass façade, allowing for exceptional views across the crystal waters of the premium resort-style community's stunning recreational lagoon.

With its floating curved roof and ample use of organic materials, the building is not only aesthetically pleasing but harnesses biophilic design principles to connect seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.

The Sales and Experience Centre embodies the unique lifestyle proposition offered by the wider Tilal Al Ghaf community, built around the ethos of providing an exceptional quality of life, high standards of comfort, and great experiences every day for employees, visitors, and residents alike. – TradeArabia News Service
