It’s looking to be another landmark year for Dubai’s real estate. Emaar Development today marked the ground-breaking ceremony on Arabian Ranches III (AR-III) – the newest phase of the premium gated villa community, which recorded a sell-out response from investors and homebuyers with its first two neighbourhoods SUN and JOY.

Arabian Ranches III is an extension of Dubai’s well-established Arabian Ranches destination.

In line with its slogan ‘Find Your Happy’, Arabian Ranches III will increase the happiness and well-being of its residents with a lazy river, sports courts, kids splash pads, a clubhouse, a central park and a retail area, among numerous other family-friendly amenities.

The key feature of Arabian Ranches III is the central park designed for unwinding and neighbourly get-togethers. It will stretch across 30,000 square metres (about 7.5 acres, or more than four football pitches), with a central plaza, lawns, adventure zones, a parkour course, a skate park, barbeque areas, a gymnasium, jogging tracks and a cricket pitch.

Residents will also have a choice of smaller parks with children’s playgrounds, and a 4-kilometre long boulevard. A mosque, reputed schools and healthcare facilities are also nearby.

Once complete, Arabian Ranches III will also offer a direct connection to the 86-kilometre long Al Qudra Cycling Track, while the 42-metre-wide boulevard loop in the heart of the community will promote a healthy, pedestrian-friendly lifestyle.

Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director of Emaar Properties, said: ‘“We are thrilled to commence construction on this remarkable new extension of our highly successful Arabian Ranches.”
