In short

Majid Al Futtaim is building Ghaf Woods in Dubailand near Global Village — a 7,000-unit master plan marketed as Dubai's first forest community, with more trees than residents and air the developer states runs up to 5°C cooler. Current clusters price 1-beds from ~AED 1.5M on a 60/40 plan. Phases one and two sold out, so demand is proven; the trade-off is a long hold — active clusters hand over in 2029.

The project

## About Ghaf Woods in Dubailand

Ghaf Woods spans 738,000 m² beside Global Village in Wadi Al Safa 4, rolling out in eight phases to 2031. The concept is genuinely different for Dubai: residential clusters wrapped in a planted forest of 35,000 trees, which Majid Al Futtaim says keeps ambient air up to 5°C cooler and up to 20% cleaner. Early clusters Serra, Cilia and Lacina sold out at launch; sales today run through Capria East and West (from ~AED 1.2–1.5M, handover Q2 2029), the four-building Distrikt (1-beds from ~AED 1.5M, Q3 2029) and the wellness cluster Maravelle (from AED 5.19M).

The investment case is concept scarcity plus a tier-1 developer: no direct forest-living competitor exists, and June 2026 DLD transactions already show 1-beds trading at AED 1.53–1.8M against a 1.2M launch. Set against that: handover for current clusters is 2029, Dubailand carries heavy new supply that pressures rents, and there is no metro nearby. Rental history does not exist yet — nearby benchmarks suggest a realistic 5.5–7% gross once keys are handed.

Investment view

## Is Ghaf Woods right for you ?

- Tier-1 developer Majid Al Futtaim with phases one and two already sold out

FAQ

## Common questions

**How much is an apartment at Ghaf Woods?**

Current clusters start around AED 1.2-1.5M for a 1-bed (Capria, Distrikt), with 2-beds from about AED 2.8M and 3-beds from roughly AED 4.8M. The Maravelle wellness cluster starts at AED 5.19M.

**When does Ghaf Woods hand over?**

Sold-out early clusters (Serra, Cilia, Lacina) complete in 2027; clusters on sale now — Capria and Distrikt — hand over in Q2-Q3 2029. The full master plan runs to 2031.

**Is the forest claim real?**

Majid Al Futtaim states the planted forest — about 35,000 trees — keeps air up to 5°C cooler and up to 20% cleaner than the surrounding city, and has contracted a dedicated nursery for it. The community is under construction, so the mature effect arrives as planting grows in.

**What is the payment plan at Ghaf Woods?**

The standard plan is 60/40: 10% on booking, 50% through construction in instalments, 40% at handover. Capria West has been offered at 50/50.

**Is Ghaf Woods a good investment?**

Ghaf Woods has an estimated gross yield of around 5.5–7% once handed over, and suits buyers who want Dubai’s only forest-living concept — no direct competitor exists for resale or rent. As with any Dubai purchase, returns depend on unit, floor and handover (Q2-Q3 2029); we model the net figure per unit before you commit.

**Can a foreigner buy at Ghaf Woods?**

Yes. Ghaf Woods is in a freehold zone, so foreigners get full ownership and can buy remotely by power of attorney. Entry is around AED 1.5M; a purchase at or above AED 2M also qualifies for the 10-year Golden Visa.
