Nakheel announces success for public sales launch of Al Furjan

More than 500 of the available homes were sold in just one day, adding to the overwhelming success of last week's exclusive 'women only' joint sales initiative with Johara, the female banking division of Dubai Islamic Bank. Phase 1 of Al Furjan is now completely sold out with more than 800 homes snapped up by customers.

Al Furjan, meaning 'a collection of houses or a small village', is comprised of four communities which will be defined by their individual neighborhood centre. These neighborhood centres and other amenities, such as schools, are situated within easy walking distance of homes.

Mohammed Rashed Bin Dhabeah, Director, Al Furjan, said: "We have been delighted by the success of the first day of public sales, which follows the overwhelming success of the 'women only' launch held last week. It's an incredible achievement to think that we have sold more than 800 homes in such a short time.

"The success of this launch is a ringing endorsement of Al Furjan - and is reflective of all of the hard work the team has put into the masterplan. Seeking advice from families, we found that people wanted a walkable, pedestrian friendly neighborhood that provided easy access to community amenities. We believe we have created a truly distinctive community for Dubai and it's no surprise the development has proved so popular."

Boasting more than 4,000 elegant homes complemented by an abundance of open spaces and a multitude of amenities, Al Furjan is a new model for community living. The development is designed for the family with open spaces integrated into the master plan to provide areas for children to play and families to interact.
