Emaar Morocco, the country subsidiary of Emaar Properties, is launching the sale of exquisite beachfront villas and forest-fringing townhomes located within its Tinja master-planned community at a special sales event in Dubai.

Open to all nationalities, the sale on June 4, 2008, at the Downtown Living Sales Centre showcases a range of Aldea homes, which mark the first phase of Tinja, said an official spokesman.

Tinja is being developed as part of the Dh19.6 billion ($5.34 billion) memorandum of understanding that Emaar Morocco signed earlier with the government under the patronage of King Mohammed VI, King of Morocco.

The 300 hectare (3,000,000 sq mt) development is near Tangiers, and easily accessible from the Ibn Batouta International Airport. Tinja is on the oceanfront and in close proximity to natural forests, and features 2,500 homes, 600 hotel rooms and retail outlets.

Aldea is a fully integrated residential community within Tinja offering residents the lifestyle experience of living along the Atlantic Ocean coastline, with equitable climes prevailing all through the year.

The community features a beach clubhouse and community centre with retail outlets and health & fitness facilities. Lush landscapes with walkways, parks and a range of F&B outlets add to the quality of living.

While the villas maximise their beachfront location, the townhouses offer an array of equestrian facilities for residents given the proximity to natural forests.

“Morocco is one of the fastest growing markets in the region, and an ideal investment destination given the huge growth potential of the Kingdom’s tourism sector. Tinja builds further on the tourism appeal of Tangiers, and creates a robust economic and lifestyle environment that will appeal to investors from the GCC region and international markets. The sale in Dubai is specifically held for the benefit of Moroccans in the UAE and for international investors looking for growth opportunities in the Kingdom,” said managing director, Emaar International, Issam Galadari.

The Aldea villas come in six types and are designed in a staggered fashion to maximize beachfront views and offer greater privacy for residents. Specific units have their own infinity edge private pool and shaded patio deck with landscaped steps leading to the beachfront.

Other features include recreational areas, such as swimming pools and children’s play areas. The Aldea homes have fully fitted kitchens, heating and air conditioning, double glazed windows, fenced gardens, garages, terraces and pergolas. The gated community offers 24-hour security. – TradeArabia News Service
