The project site is located adjacent to upcoming Medi City and High Court Complex.

The project, scheduled for completion over five years, will be developed in phases and will include a diverse range of components. It will feature residential plots, luxury villas, apartment complexes, commercial office spaces, an indoor sports centre and a 200-key five-star resort equipped with modern facilities and amenities. Additionally, the project will incorporate approximately 3,200 affordable housing units, each with an area of 45 square meters.

 

The project's development cost, site infrastructure, facilities, amenities, and affordable housing units will be funded through a self-sustaining model, relying on revenue generated from the sale of villas, commercial spaces and other components of the development.
