Sobha to launch residential island development in UAE

UMM AL QUWAIN, April 27, 2016

Sobha Group, a leading luxury real estate developer, has announced the launch of “Firdous Sobha”, an integrated world-class resort and residential island development in Umm Al Quwain.

Aimed at setting new heights in destination living, the agreement will see Sobha collaborate with the government of Umm Al Quwain to develop an island on a 53 million sq ft area.

The new development will leverage the growth and emergence of Umm Al Quwain as a commercial and tourist attraction with a luxurious villa community, hotels and resorts, boutique retail outlets, 18-hole golf course, sea front villas and apartments, wellness destination and an array of recreational and entertainment options that are inspired by an island lifestyle.

“Firdous Sobha” will have unrivalled panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, unspoilt beaches, world-class water-sport facilities and feature state-of-the-art luxury amenities, said a statement from Sobha.

The development will also be home to terraced apartments, which will reflect classic modernity while maintaining a balance of style and functionality, it added.

Sheikh Rashid bin Saud bin Rashid Al Mualla, Crown Prince of Umm Al Quwain and chairman of executive board said: "Our strategic partnership with Sobha Group brings an exciting new dimension to our commitment to developing Umm Al Quwain. We are both committed to quality and share a common vision for the island."

“Firdous Sobha”, he stated, was a flagship project, which had been launched in line with the vision of transforming Umm Al Quwain into an active tourism and commercial destination.

Located on Al Seniyah Island, along with Khor Al Beidah, one of the largest areas of undisturbed and varied coastal environment remaining anywhere in the UAE, “Firdous Sobha” is an untapped haven with a beautiful mangrove coastline.

The island is set to offer incomparable living with leisure options including waterfront homes, ecological zones, canals and lagoons and a marina that will offer world-class facilities for berthing.

On the launch, PNC Menon, the founder and chairman of Sobha Group, said the latest project announcement represents its commitment to the UAE.

"In line with our aim to fully leverage the opportunities present in this highly dynamic market, we have partnered with Umm Al Quwain Government, and are jointly to transform the island into a world class destination and a hot spot for iconic properties," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
