Two new residential communities in Dubai

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has approved plans for two new residential communities in Dubai.

The 8,000 plot project is part of His Highness’s diligent efforts to build a happy community in Dubai and provide citizens with a comfortable life.

Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director-General of Dubai Municipality, said that His Highness had ordered distribution of land to eligible citizens in Wadi Safa, an extension of Nad Al Sheebha, and Al Aweer 1 (Al Tai). Each plot of land (120x100) will span 12,000 square feet.

Lootah explained that a community of 1,400 and 1,000 villas will come up in Wadi Safa and Tai respectively.

The two new residential areas will be fully serviced with all amenities including mosques, schools, gardens and sports facilities, and shopping centres, in addition to clinics, libraries and other essential services, he added.

He explained that demographic growth and growing demand for residential lands have prompted the municipality to study re-planning of areas with a new perspective so as to help citizens have their own homes.
