Al Gurm by Aldar Properties

Nestled within the natural landscape of mangroves, Al Gurm is an eco-friendly residential project by Aldar Properties. The first phase of the development was completed in 2010, and includes 73 waterfront villas with 3 to 5 bedrooms, inspired by Asian and Mediterranean architecture. The residences are complemented by landscaped gardens, swimming pools and piers. Amid the rising demand for its projects, Aldar launched the second phase of Al Gurm in July 2021. The developer offers a collection of 71 plots ranging in size from 9,505 sq. ft to 50,590 sq. ft. The purchase of these land plots is available for UAE citizens only. Every plot has direct access to a private sandy beach. In the second phase of Al Gurm, the height of buildings will not exceed floors. Colour palettes that are permitted to be used include white, grey, dark grey, beige, cream and burgundy. The aim of the requirements is to ensure that new projects are perfectly integrated into the architectural character of the entire development. Residents are also encouraged to consider sustainability factors when building their residences. These include the use of LEDs to reduce light pollution and maximize energy efficiency. It is also recommended to use solar panels for water heating. The master plan of the Al Gurm project also suggests the use of recycled materials and local plant species.
