The newly established neighborhoods will offer Emirati families premium living spaces, providing modern infrastructure and essential amenities that support Dubai’s vision for environmentally sustainable urban growth. The aim is to create integrated, vibrant communities where families can thrive, fostering long-term social stability.
A Focus on Family and Community Values
The housing project aligns with the Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum Family Program, launched by Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum, the wife of Sheikh Mohammed.

He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to delivering high-quality living environments that foster social stability and well-being, ensuring that Emirati families have access to the best possible standards of living.
Omar Hamad Bu Shehab, CEO of the Mohammed bin Rashid Housing Establishment (MBRHE), further elaborated on the project, noting that these new developments are part of a comprehensive, long-term strategy aimed at addressing the housing needs of Emiratis for generations to come. The goal is to provide world-class urban planning, incorporating integrated communities with all the necessary amenities for a fulfilling lifestyle.
Supporting the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan
This ambitious project is integral to Dubai’s broader urban development goals outlined in the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. Prioritizing sustainable urban expansion, the plan aims to create commercial hubs, leisure spaces, and green areas, ensuring that these new neighborhoods are complete communities that enhance the quality of life for residents. The inclusion of modern infrastructure and environmental sustainability will help shape Dubai into a future-ready city.
A Landmark Milestone for Dubai’s Future
The approval of these housing projects marks a significant milestone in Dubai’s commitment to offering Emirati families high-quality, sustainable residences. With a focus on sustainability, thoughtful urban design, and community values, this initiative further reinforces Dubai’s leadership in innovative and inclusive urban development, demonstrating the government’s unwavering dedication to its people’s future.
As these projects come to life, they will not only improve the living standards of Emirati families but will also contribute to the city’s ongoing transformation into a model of sustainable, community-focused urban growth.
