These technology-enabled homes, inspired by the ‘Elysian Fields’ of Greek mythology, will offer five-to-six-bedroom options with living areas starting at 11,000ft².

The development aims to offer a blend of art, culture, architecture, and nature.

Groundworks for the project have been completed.

The contract for the Alaya project meanwhile, has been awarded to Unec.

Alaya will feature 130 grand villas across 200,000m² along with extended ‘Zen Suites’ tailored to residents’ preferences.

The neighbourhood will also offer landscaped grounds and customisable facade options, including modernist and Mediterranean styles.

Completion of both neighbourhoods is expected in mid-2026.
