Al Barari, a leader in sustainably luxury homes in the UAE, has announce that 75 per cent of its Ashjar collection has been sold out and now only 52 of the 203 elegant homes remain available for purchase.

Ashjar, meaning trees in Arabic, is part of Al Barari’s ambitious and visionary Phase Two, delivering intimate and serene community living amongst the tree tops of Dubai’s premier desert oasis, said the company in a statement.

It has a distinctive ‘canopy living’ design by architects 10 Design, which maximizes the natural light, with cascading terraces. Connecting with nature is a key feature of Ashjar, maintaining the oasis-like forest environment, so the small community of 13 buildings is built into the landscape as if they are native to the land.

The construction of the low-rise, low density buildings began this May including one-, two- and three-bedroom large apartments.

With 36 per cent of the project now complete, the first set of keys will be handed over in December 2017, the statement said.

Each cluster is separated by dense forest, creating secluded havens with the perfect balance of community and privacy, amongst Al Barari’s 18.42 million sq ft secluded paradise, where over 80 per cent of the area is exclusively set aside to nature, it added.

Martyn Crook, Al Barari’s CEO of Asset Management, expressed delight at the significant interest generated by the Ashjar residences.

"Al Barari has targeted a different segment of the market with this unique proposition of spacious luxury apartment living surrounded by nature, which truly is a gap in the market. We are already very well recognised for the quality of villa living in Al Barari, so our Ashjar project together with the other exciting prospects for Al Barari’s stunning phase 2, will introduce us to a much wider audience with a tailored solution for all residents," noted Crook.

Spacious luxury apartments in the iconic Seven Heaven building and the exquisite family villas at The Nest, will exist alongside a world class boutique hotel, dining venues, retail including a floating market, and education, assisted living and medical facilities.

Phase One saw the successful handover of the majority of The Residences and The Reserve, and the opening of the plant nursery, Green Works, the phenomenally successful restaurant The Farm, the health club Body language and the Heart & Soul spa, said the statement.

"Al Barari is the market leader for integrated luxury living and active eco-conscious development in the region.  We are thoroughly looking forward to opening the next chapter for the flourishing and exclusive Al Barari estate. More detailed information on Phase 2 will be announced in the New Year," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
