Tilal Al Ghaf spans over a 3 million square meter land area including a 70K lagoon and an 11KM cycling and walking trail.  Located along the intersection of Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street and Hessa Street and neighbouring nearby estates such as Damac Hills, Motor City and Jumeirah Golf Estates, Tilal Al Ghaf is promising a brand-new waterfront community living experience.

Tilal Al Ghaf is Majid Al Futtaim’s new flagship project development in Dubai. With interconnected parks, playgrounds and picnic areas along with cycling and walking tracks, the project creates a way for meaningful residential living with sustainable design. This off-plan project is Majid Al Futtaim’s fourth community that will exude lush family living and rich lifestyles.

Tilal Al Ghaf is a mixed-use community with 6,500 residential units ranging from apartments, villas, and townhouses. This mega development will offer luxury resort-style living around Lagoon Al Ghaf, a swimmable and recreational lagoon with white sandy beaches which will become the centerpiece of the community. The first phase of this project is set to be delivered this year and the entire project will be completed by 2027.

This off-plan development also made noise in the UAE real estate industry because of their sustainability goals. Majid Al Futtaim is committed towards sustainability and creating a smaller carbon footprint for the community. The homes in Tilal Al Ghaf are designed with smart sustainable solutions such as solar-powered water heaters and smart systems for water and energy consumption.
