Emaar Development has announced the launch of Saffron, the first townhouse community in Emaar South, the 7-sq-km lifestyle destination with tree-lined boulevards, walking and bicycle trails and a well-linked public transport network.

A joint venture with Dubai South, Emaar South offers a mix of tiered townhomes, townhouses, villas and apartments.

Saffron garden townhouses are located centrally in the new neighbourhood, along the Emaar South Boulevard, minutes away from Al Maktoum International Airport and 10 minutes away from the home to the Expo 2020 Dubai,said the Dubai-based developer.

The residential destination will serve professionals working at the nearby Dubai Wholesale City, Dubai World Central Free Zone, and Al Maktoum International Airport, set to be the biggest in the world, as well as the various components of Dubai South including the Aviation District, Logistics District, Business Park, Exhibition District and Humanitarian District, it stated.

Set amidst green neighbourhood parks, Saffron garden townhouses have a private rear garden and are linked to an 18-hole championship golf course promenade through a network of landscaped walkways.

Available as three and four-bedroom units, Saffron homes bring the serene charm of park-side living. The residences have expansive windows to maximise the soothing views of the green parks as well as wide frontage and side yards.

Inter-connected pathways lead to a series of neighbourhood and district parks, all in walkable distance. Assuring utmost privacy and security, the gated neighbourhood is designed to celebrate the spirit of community living.

Saffron garden townhouses are designed to enhance the wellness factor of residents with generous open spaces. The residents can enjoy a wide range of amenities such as community swimming pools, indoor and outdoor play areas, barbecue areas, lawns and a health & fitness facility, as well as a community clubhouse.

Ahmad Al Matrooshi, the managing director of Emaar Properties, said: "Emaar South offers the opportunity to be part of the future logistics and aviation hub of the city. The tiered townhouses, golf course villas, and apartments that we launched earlier received significant demand, underlining Emaar South as a preferred lifestyle destination."

"Saffron will appeal to all who favour a serene retreat with a wide choice of amenities to spend quality time with their family. From the walkways that link to the parks and the community clubhouse, every aspect of Saffron celebrates the family and community living," observed Al Matrooshi.

"We are kicking off the sales of Saffron townhouses starting from today (February 26) at our offices in Downtown Dubai; Dubai Creek Harbour Sales Centre in Ras Al Khor; Dubai Hills Estate Sales Pavilion located on Umm Suqeim Road and the Abu Dhabi Sales Centre," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
