Dubai real estate developer Majid Al Futtaim has officially launched Ghaf Woods, a groundbreaking new community that will feature more trees than residents. As MAF’s first forest living development, Ghaf Woods will include 7,000 properties and over 35,000 trees.

 

The community offers an expansive ratio of 15 square meters of open space per resident, exceeding World Health Organization standards by 40 percent. Initially introduced at MIPIM 2024 in Cannes, France, the project aims to create a harmonious living experience with abundant greenery, enhanced connectivity, and sustainability at its core.

 

Ahmed El Shamy, CEO of Majid Al Futtaim Properties, said: “The launch of Ghaf Woods represents a significant milestone for Majid Al Futtaim. As we enter our fourth decade, this project is a re-founding moment, offering residents a unique living experience and reaffirming our position as lifestyle pioneers in the region. Ghaf Woods is more than just a community; it’s a new chapter in premium development with innovative and sustainable design at its heart.”

 

 

 

 

Scheduled for release in eight phases through 2031, Ghaf Woods will span 738,000 square meters off the Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Highway, near Dubai’s Global Village. The development will feature over 7,000 premium units, including one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes and penthouses, all designed to blend seamlessly with the forest environment.

 

The community's design emphasizes indoor-outdoor living, with world-class architecture set amid a forest of 35,000 trees, including the Ghaf, well-suited to the local climate. These trees, integral to Ghaf Woods, help reduce soil erosion, conserve water, and provide shade, resulting in average temperatures up to five degrees Celsius cooler than the city. They also play a crucial role in improving air quality by removing pollutants and greenhouse gases.

 

Dubbed the “Green Lung,” the community will offer air up to 20 percent cleaner than other Dubai developments. Ghaf Woods will also be home to over 20 bird species, promoting health, wellness, and relaxation. Forest-lined pathways interlink various experiential neighborhoods, ensuring that no point in the community is more than a five-minute walk away.

 

Residents will be encouraged to embrace an outdoor lifestyle, with eight kilometers of walking trails, a 3.5-kilometer biking loop, and resort-style pools. Additional amenities include fitness facilities, family-friendly gardens, and a wellness and yoga pavilion.

 

Ghaf Woods will also feature District, Majid Al Futtaim’s signature multi-purpose neighborhood hub, offering a curated selection of retail and restaurants with farm-to-table cuisine.
