Jumeirah Heights
Jumeirah Heights is a self-contained community of some 2,300 residences at the very heart of ‘new Dubai’, between Jumeirah Islands and Jumeirah Lake Towers. Construction began on the project in May 2007 and eventually it will become home to around 11,000 people. At a time when demand for housing is at an all time high in Dubai, Jumeirah Heights brings a full range of residential options to this rapidly growing city. These range from spacious open-plan apartments and uber-trendy lofts and duplexes to townhouses – all incorporating the highest quality architecture and design. In this relaxed, peaceful and low-density community, residences are set across 20 hectares of land amid a backdrop of small lakes, water features and landscaping.Jumeirah Heights is divided into three distinct areas - The Village Centre, The Fronds and The Clusters. In the first stage of development, the Village Centre contains two mid-rise buildings, consisting of almost 650 apartments and a variety of retail facilities including a supermarket, cafés, bank, pharmacy and a number of other outlets. A club house will welcome residents, while leisure facilities will include a swimming pool, a gym and a children’s play area. The two fronds will each consist of two mid-rise apartment buildings and 17 townhouses. The two clusters will each house three low rise apartment buildings boasting two and three bedroom loft apartments with private gardens. Both the fronds and the clusters will offer a variety of leisure facilities.
Jumeirah Heights lies just off Sheikh Zayed Road near the popular Jumeirah Islands community. Two metro stations will be situated within easy reach by the time of the project’s completion in 2010. This gives Jumeirah Heights a fantastic and convenient location within fifteen minutes of bustling business areas such as Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City, the five-star luxury of beachfront hotels, bars and restaurants on and near the Palm Jumeirah and world-class shopping at Ibn Battuta Mall.
Mohammed bin Ghannam, Senior Manager, Jumeirah Heights said: “We are thrilled to announce the launch of Jumeirah Heights - the newest member of Nakheel’s Jumeirah Family. Following the success of Jumeirah Islands and the overwhelming demand at the launch of Jumeirah Park in late 2006, we are delighted to be bringing this new product to market, especially at a time when people throughout the UAE are looking for exactly this kind of property. The key aim with Jumeirah Heights is to provide choice – both in terms of the variety of residences on offer and the financing options. Jumeirah Heights will bring people who have been looking for a different kind of product to Jumeirah.
“More than this, we aim for Jumeirah Heights to provide what professionals and young families are looking for in Dubai. We believe we’ve created something different – from inspirational views and an easy journey to work in the morning through to some superb community leisure and residential facilities to come home to.” Jumeirah Heights will provide residences for established professionals as well as for those who are taking their first steps onto the property ladder. With a recent report by MEED suggesting the property boom is likely to ensure investors a good return for years to come, and a Colliers International Report highlighting developers’ increasing ability to offer more attractive financing options and incentives, the development will help more people make the leap from renting to owning their own property.
