Constructed between 2009 and 2012, the development includes mixed use buildings featuring retail outlets on ground floors, with residential units above. The design showcases a blend of modern Mediterranean styles and traditional Arabic elements with shaded façades and mashrabiya-inspired detailing.
The community provides diverse housing options: 1:2 bedroom apartments suitable for singles and couples, and 3:4 bedroom townhouses or villas for families. Townhouses feature maid’s rooms, fitted kitchens, private pools, patios, and garden areas .
