Emaar Middle East has started the handover of residences in Al Khobar Lakes, the company’s premier master-planned community in the Eastern Province, within Al Nada Village.

Homeowners have also started moving into and furnishing their villas.

The handover of homes in Al Nada village, the first residential cluster in the development,   marks the first phase of residential community delivery by Emaar Middle East in the kingdom.

Eng Ahmad Al Kulli, general manager of Emaar Middle East, said: “The handover of these homes is a proud moment for us, as we demonstrate our commitment to our customers and reiterate the highest importance that we place on delivery. The villas in Al Nada Village have been developed to the world-class standards, and with the first residents moving in, we will have a family lifestyle neighborhood in Al Khobar Lakes.”

Al Khobar Lakes is a luxury lakefront development set on approximately 2.6 million sq m featuring serene water bodies. It features more than 2,000 private villas with retail and leisure amenities that are perfect for family living, he said.

In close proximity to Al Khobar City, Dhahran and Dammam, Al Khobar Lakes is one of the premier lakefront developments and the largest integrated community in Saudi Arabia, said Al Kulli.

Al Khobar Lakes will eventually feature a large retail centre with a gross leasable area of 95,000 sq m; 104,000 sq m of landscaping, greenery and parks; 11 mosques including a Grand Mosque for Friday Prayers; two educational facilities for both boys and girls; a shopping centre, two community centres, healthcare facilities and other amenities.

All homes in the Al Nada Village are equipped with the latest communication technologies, smart home systems and advanced infrastructure networks. The landscaping work has also been completed in addition to all related infrastructure work.

Emaar Middle East is also developing Jeddah Gate, a mixed-use project spread over approximately 400,000 sq m of land in Jeddah's new downtown. The project will serve as a centrepoint for the city's new downtown.

Jeddah Gate is currently in the final stages of completion and hand over of homes will commence shortly, the statement said.
