Damac Properties, one of the largest luxury real estate developers in the Middle East, has launched the sales of luxury villas at its 14 million sq ft development Akoya Park in Dubai.

The Akoya Park includes a dedicated 4.3 million sq ft of open parkland, which will be a first-of-its-kind development in the region. The exclusive villas are set within the grounds of a lush green open space reserved for the residents of the community.

On completion, the Akoya Park will become one of the largest private parks in the region. It is part of 'Akoya by Damac,' a 42 million sq ft community off Umm Sequim Road, which includes the Trump International Golf Club, Dubai and branded villa concepts The Trump Estates, Damac Villas by Paramount and Fendi Villas.

A limited number of 200 villas have been made available, with a starting price point of Dh2.1 million ($571 million). Set within three clusters named after some the largest open parks in the world: ‘Rockwood’, ‘Richmond’, and ‘Topanga’, the villas will offer the unique experience of living in the heart of a Park.

Akoya Park will include its own open-air amphitheatre, running & cycling tracks, an 18-hole putting green, barbecue area, café, skate-boarding Park, floodlight football pitch, basketball, tennis & badminton courts, children’s water play area, a life-sized chess board and a luxurious beach-fronted swimming pool.

“Imagine stepping out of your home onto more than 4 million sq ft of lush private gardens,” said Ziad El Chaar, the managing director, Damac Properties. “Akoya Park will deliver a whole new concept of luxury living among nature, with all the amenities expected of a modern family,” he added.

All of the amenities included in Akoya Park will be the private reserve of the villa residents, creating a sense of ownership and pride over the manicured space.

The open-air amphitheatre will showcase the latest movies under the stars, while the Café, overlooking the tranquil environment will be a private escape for the community to watch the world go by.

The swimming pool which laps up against the man-made beachfront is the perfect place for rest and relaxation, while the kids let off steam in the fun and interactive water area, said El Chaar.

“With cycleways and running tracks, Akoya Park will be one of the most family-friendly, safe and desirable environments in Dubai,” remarked El Chaar.

“We know that our customers strive to own a luxury home in green open space, a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life, and we believe Akoya Park turns that aspiration into reality like no other project in the city,” he added.

Residents will also be able to create unforgettable birthday moments for the kids by privatising dedicated areas of Akoya Park and personalising the environment. Qualified staff will be on hand to create lasting memories in a unique environment.-TradeArabia News Service
