Master developer Nakheel has awarded a contract to Dubai-based Al Shafar General Contracting for infrastructure work and the construction of 620 residences at Murooj Al Furjan, its sell-out, gated community at its Al Furjan master development.
 
As per the deal, Al Shafar will be complete the work on villas and townhouses and associated infrastructure at the new community in 2024. 
 
Launched in May 2021, the Murooj Al Furjan community is close to Al Furjan’s retail Pavilion, community club and Dubai Metro station, said the statement from Nakheel. 
 
The homes are set among extensive green spaces, scenic walkways and a wealth of amenities including swimming pools, jogging tracks, sports courts and shaded play areas. 
 
Following high demand for Murooj Al Furjan, Nakheel launched – and sold – its sister community, Murooj Al Furjan West, last September. The construction contract is currently out to tender, said the developer in its statement. 
 
Spanning 560 hectares and currently home to nearly 30,000 people, Al Furjan is one of Nakheel’s biggest and most popular mixed-use developments. 
 
Close to Ibn Battuta Mall with its own Metro station, two retail pavilions, a community club, schools and more, Al Furjan is easily accessible from Sheikh Mohammed Bin Ziyad Road, Al Yalayis Street and Sheikh Zayed Road – ideally located to reach Abu Dhabi and other parts of Dubai.
