First villas on Jubail Island will be completed by Q4 2023

The Jubail Island project in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, which is worth AED 10B (USD 2.7B) will be home to thousands of residents. According to the developer, more than half of the Jubail Island development will be left untouched by the ongoing retail estate scheme.

The new community by Jubail Island Investment Company is the latest addition to Abu Dhabi’s real estate landscape situated between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island. There will be six residential village communities with a total area of more than 400 hectares. It is expected that Jubail Island will be home to over 5,000 residents.

According to the Chief Business Officer at JIIC, Mahmoud Dandashly, over 60 to 65% of Jubail Island will be left as a natural reserve with water bodies, mangroves and salt marshes: the total area of the district constitutes 484 million sq. ft and only 161 million sq. ft out of this is being used for real estate development.

The design of the residential project was planned to ensure it does not become a construction-heavy development. With the low density construction, it is already a sustainable complex, which offers plenty of open spaces and parks. Other amenities within the residential villages include athletic courts, supermarkets, cycling and jogging tracks, children’s playgrounds, restaurants and medical facilities, as well as retail and office spaces. A Jubail Club on the beach with F&B outlets, in addition to a marina and a yacht club will be one of the main facilities in the neighbourhood.

Residents of the project will have access to Jubail Mangrove Park, which is the first self-contained nature and leisure destination in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. The reserve constitutes about 75% of the total mangrove forest area in the UAE and it is one of the most important ecological assets in the UAE, protected by the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD).

At the moment the construction is in full swing and the first villas will be ready by the fourth quarter of 2023. A waterfront community with 240 villas on Jubail Island called Ain Al Maha village, was announced earlier this year. The project is being built alongside a water channel, in which residents will be able to enjoy stunning views of the sea and mangroves. Currently, the Ain Al Maha village is under construction with the anticipated date of completion in Q1 2025.

The total number of properties on Jubail Island will constitute around 200 townhouses, 260 apartments and 650 villas. The emirate of Abu Dhabi has a great demand for well-designed residential communities, which offer space, privacy and luxury, therefore purchasing real estate in the new community will be a profitable investment.
