With District One, AE7 has created the UAEs’ most ambitious residential development to date: a superbly planned luxury district comprising bespoke mansions, villas, and apartments interwoven with a seven-kilometer winding, crystal-clear lagoon. Spread over 450 hectares of land—thirty-five of which are the new man-made Crystal Lagoon—every residence is within a few steps of the fourteen kilometers of miraculous inland beachfront. District One is especially conducive to outdoor recreation with a perimeter (regulation-width) cycling track along with numerous shaded jogging routes over majestic bridges and through charming parks. This is a neighborhood where people can literally run, bike, swim, kayak, boat, jetski, or drive to travel from place to place.

Moreover, District One is also planned to be an exceptionally serene and livable community, with every modern amenity and necessity accounted for—schools, shops, recreation clubs, places of worship, town squares, and acres of lush greenery. The residents of the 1,200 new villas and the thousands more living in the nearby apartments enjoy a unique lifestyle in this groundbreaking planned community—a literal oasis just outside the city center.
