Emaar unveils new townhouse community in MBR City project

Emaar Properties on Sunday unveiled Maple, its first townhouse community planned as part of Dubai Hills Estate, the joint venture of it and Meraas Holding located in Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City).

Surrounded by parkland and with a central green boulevard, high-end retail and several community and neighbourhood parks, Dubai Hills Estate will also feature an 18-hole golf course, dedicated link to the Dubai Metro expansion, two luxury hotels and a tennis academy.

Emaar said in a statement that the 118 Maple townhouses will feature three, four and five bedrooms.

Potential investors can register interest at www.emaar.com, with the sales launch to be held on April 25 in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Ahmad Al Matrooshi, managing director of Emaar Properties, said: "Dubai Hills Estate is an iconic development that will serve as an inspiring green getaway destination right in the heart of the city. A connected 'city within a city' that focuses on living in harmony with nature, it is one of the ambitious mega-developments in Dubai that is centrally located.

"Maple, the first townhouse community, is placed to the west side of the development, bringing an extraordinary lifestyle choice to all residents."

He said a distinguishing feature of the Maple community is the green corridor that connects the residences with green parks, a mosque, a day care centre and a retail centre in addition to jogging and cycling trails, fitness stations and shaded areas with seating benches.

Emaar said investors who make a down payment of 30 percent of the total value of the property and maintain ownership until hand-over is completed will be offered preferred access and the opportunity to own homes.
