Leading global developer Emaar has announced the  launch of its third luxury residential project at Jeddah Gate, an elegant masterplanned community located centrally in the Saudi city, under its Emaar Residences brand of homes.

Spread over a total area of 413,000 sq m, when completed, Jeddah Gate will have 2,009 residential units, 230,000 sq m of office space, and 68,000 sq m of retail space. It is located on King Abdullah Road, close to King Fahad and Prince Majed Roads, the new gateway to King Abdul Aziz International Airport.

Green walkways link the entire neighbourhood with public plazas surrounded by retail outlets, restaurants and cafes.

With the final touches to the dedicated office precinct being completed, it is billed to become a vibrant commercial destination offering 63 world-class office spaces in three buildings that overlook a central plaza.

According to Emaar, the location of Emaar Residences is unique as it is part of an integrated development.  Located close to King Abdullah Road and facing Emaar Square, it offers direct access to the community services and amenities through walkways and plazas.

Emaar Residences are set in three towers, 17 to 21 storeys high, offering only 283 elegant one to four-bedroom apartments and upper villas (penthouses) for an exquisite lifestyle. The homes range in size from 69 to 298 sq m. Each of the towers has a welcoming lobby.

The first residential project - Abraj Al Hilal 1- has been fully handed over and is now a vibrant family neighbourhood.

The Abraj Al Hilal homes are designed for Saudi families, spacious and rich in exclusive amenities including fitness centres, daycare, and swimming pools, said a statement of Emaar.

Other amenities include a children’s playground, outdoor swimming pools for men, a spa for women with fully-equipped gym, aerobics area and other amenities. There is also a male’s fitness centre and a multipurpose hall for social occasions. A childcare centre, 24/7 security, concierge services, and assured parking add to the convenience.

Customers now have the opportunity to buy into one of the most sought-after communities in the city that offers a wide range of lifestyle amenities, the statement added

Meanwhile, the Dubai developer is all set  to hand over its Emaar Square offices in Jeddah Gate, an elegant masterplannned community located centrally in the city, to investors and business owners starting this month.

Emaar Square comprises three centrally commercial buildings overlooking a central plaza with spectacular water features. A number of luxury retail outlets and a diversity of food and beverage (F&B) attractions are situated by the plaza, while an executive office on the top of each building offers business centre amenities.

Each office ranges in size from 239 to 400 sq m. A spacious lobby with reception, high-speed elevators, fine selection of restaurants and retail outlets, dedicated parking, round-the-clock security services, and surveillance system with advanced technology are other features.

"The handover of Emaar Square offices from this month, and the launch of the third residential project prove our commitment to deliver and create sustained value for our investors," said a company spokesman.

"Emaar Square is an office precinct like no other in the city with a central location and being part of an elegant master-planned community with all lifestyle amenities in walking distance. With the growth in demand for homes and offices in Jeddah, our projects are ideally suited for homeowners and investors for its exceptional designs, luxury services and amenities and the high quality of construction," he stated.

Strategically located, Jeddah Gate is only five minutes away from the new express-train station, Al Haramain, which will offer direct access to Makkah and Madinah.

Designed to suit the Saudi modern lifestyle choices yet upholding traditional values, Jeddah Gate is an integrated master-planned development with residential, commercial and hospitality projects, leisure facilities, walkways, beautiful plazas and gardens, as well as the wide range of services, retail outlets, mosques, schools and sidewalk dining and cafés.

The development is also close to the new Jeddah Metro Station at Al-Muntalaq and in close proximity to the central business district, commercial institutions, banking headquarters, the Jeddah Islamic Port, educational institutions, hospitals, malls and governmental offices, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
