Tilal Al Ghaf on Hessa Street

Tilal Al Ghaf at a glance

Hessa Street and Lagoon Al Ghaf: the Tilal Al Ghaf site

Tilal Al Ghaf sits where Hessa Street meets Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street, close to Dubai Sports City (The National, 19 April 2018), in the land area the Dubai Land Department calls Al Hebiah Fourth. The site covers more than three million square metres.

At its centre is Lagoon Al Ghaf: 150,000 square metres with sandy beaches, according to Majid Al Futtaim in November 2023 (the 2018 plan said 70,000). The developer also lists 11 km of cycling trails, 18 km of walking trails, a central park and Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai, which takes applications from FS1 to Year 8.

Do not confuse it with Tilal Binghatti, a different project by another developer in Dubai International Academic City.

From Elan townhouses to lagoon mansions: the twelve neighbourhoods

Majid Al Futtaim released Tilal Al Ghaf one neighbourhood at a time. What it has published about the main ones:

• Elan, Harmony and Aura: registered in 2020 and 2021, now finished in the DLD register.
• Alaya: 407 grand villas, ground broken in January 2024.
• Elysian Mansions: 94 waterfront mansions of five and six bedrooms.
• Plagette 32: 28 Club Villas and four Water Bungalows, with lifetime membership of a beach club run by Sunset Hospitality Group.
• Amara: 116 three storey twin villas.
• Serenity Mansions: 109 standalone mansions designed by SAOTA and Nabil Gholam, interiors by BLINK.
• Alaya Beach: mansions and grand villas in Modernist or Mediterranean style, with private access to the lagoon beach.
• BO MONDE: 13 mansions shaped by nabilgholam, interiors by BLINK.

Serenity Mansions Waterfront Collection, beside the lagoon, and Lanai Islands complete the developer's list.

Finished, near completion or still being built: Tilal Al Ghaf phase by phase

Finished or near completion: Elan, Harmony and Aura are closed in the DLD register (completed between November 2023 and August 2024), and Alaya was 91.45% built at its last inspection, past its declared completion date of 20 July 2026. In January 2024 Majid Al Futtaim expected Alaya and Elysian Mansions to complete by mid 2026.

The newer neighbourhoods are small; with under 50 registered sales each over the past year, the DLD export leaves them out. What has been published:

NAHY gets the completion date in each neighbourhood's sale contract before you reserve.

BO MONDE, resale or a finished villa: three ways into Tilal Al Ghaf

Most trade here is now in finished homes: of the 384 sales the DLD registered in the community in the 12 months to September 2026, 6.2% were off-plan. Three routes follow:

1. A home from Majid Al Futtaim. On 8 November 2026 the developer showed BO MONDE as its latest launch, with a register interest form but no availability count. NAHY asks whether any mansions, or homes in other neighbourhoods, are still with the developer.
2. An off-plan contract on resale. A mansion owner may sell the contract ahead of completion, subject to the developer's consent and a DLD transfer; NAHY verifies what the seller has already paid and the registered contract.
3. A finished home. In Elan, Harmony and Aura you see the villa, the street and the view before paying.

Before reserving, settle three points: the exact neighbourhood and plot, whether the home faces the lagoon, a park or a road, and the completion date in the contract. NAHY shares the price list, payment plan and floor plans by WhatsApp.

Majid Al Futtaim's other Dubai community: Ghaf Woods and Lyra

Majid Al Futtaim's real estate development arm raised revenue by 33 per cent to AED 5.8 billion in 2025, citing demand across its residential communities: Tilal Al Ghaf and Ghaf Woods in Dubai, Al Zahia in Sharjah and Al Mouj in Muscat (The National, 16 March 2026).

Ghaf Woods is registered to a separate company, Majid Al Futtaim Ghaf Woods L.L.C, with seven projects and 3,570 units in Wadi Al Safa 4, including Distrikt, Capria East, Capria West and Serra. Its newest entry is Lyra, 348 units registered on 26 October 2026. No new Tilal Al Ghaf project was registered in 2026 up to 29 October.
