Te project’s overall architectural philosophy conforms to Arabesque traditions while blending most-modern facilities to ensure a unique, relaxed lifestyle. Te project is crossed by a boulevard which connects the existing part of Jeddah. Ahmed Al Kulli says: “Emaar Middle East has launched the sale of Abraj Al Hilal, a cluster of three high-rise residential towers within Jeddah Gate, in Saudi Arabia to strong response from customers, and the next cluster of three residential towers is currently under design. “Te first homes in Jeddah Gate will be handed over to customers in 2011.
Additionally three office buildings are also being undertaken, which will complement the initial phase of the Jeddah Gate development.” Part of the vision of Jeddah Municipality is to develop the Old Airport

Lifestyle amenities include swimming pools for men and women, health club, squash courts, and a common podium with a roof garden. Te first few residential towers are currently in final stages of completion, and will be handed over to customers in the coming months.

Te Al Nada and Al Ghadeer residential villages have been launched to overwhelming home buyer and investor response. Te first batch of villas is nearing completion and will be handed over shortly to customers.
