Sustainable property developer ZāZEN Properties has launched sales for its newest project, ZāZEN Gardens, which is billed as a LEED Gold-rated residential development in Dubai’s Al Furjan area. The developer said that the project will be ready for handover in April 2024.
The project is currently under construction and sales are expected to follow a similar trajectory to that of ZāZEN One, the developer’s flagship project that was completed in January 2022.
Through its sustainable practices, ZāZEN Gardens is said to be aligning with some of the country’s key initiatives including Dubai 2040 Urban Masterplan and UAE Net Zero 2050, the statement said. In addition, the company aims to align itself with the aims and ambitions of the upcoming COP28, which will be hosted by the nation in 2023. 
The developer originally announced the project in late September 2022.
Madhav Dhar, Co-Founder, and COO of ZāZEN Properties said, “ZāZEN One saw great success due to our ability to balance sustainability with high-quality, spacious residences that also offer world-class amenities. With our newest project, ZāZEN Gardens, we are continuing to deliver something unique in a crowded market that caters to how people live and how they grow in their homes to provide even more added value to investors and end users alike.”
He added, “Off-plan properties have long been smart and effective investments, and this is becoming increasingly apparent in the UAE. The market is still hot but undervalued versus similar global cities and if you haven’t already stepped into real estate in Dubai, now is the time to do it. The Qatar World Cup and the holiday season, coupled with the ease of getting UAE residency for individuals and families, is expected to drive prices higher in the coming months – and the value that ZāZEN Gardens provides, both from a financial perspective and an environmental one, is unparalleled in the Al Furjan community.”
He pointed out that Dubai saw high demand for off-plan real estate in the first half of 2022 with the segment growing by 130% and 8,816 sales transactions worth $7.02bn were recorded in October to reflect the highest value of transactions in a decade. The launch of ZāZEN Gardens is adding to this momentum to help the UAE draw further investment into the UAE’s economy, he asserted.
In early December 2022, Knight Frank said that Dubai’s prime residences are set to lead global price rises.
The development is one of the only residential projects with LEED Gold certification and Well-Being integration at its core in Dubai, Dhar claimed. The project consists of 159 units with apartments spanning from 824 to 1,612sqft. It also has two retail outlets on the ground floor that cater to the Al Furjan community, the developer noted.
Around 470t of carbon emissions, which is equivalent to the planting of 12,147 trees, will be reduced annually upon the project’s completion. The development will also have 35,000sqft of landscaping, multiple recycling stations, EV charging stations, and solar panels on the rooftop to help reduce common area service charges for owners, the company concluded.
Also in early December 2022, LIV Developers launched LIV Lux in Dubai Marina.
