DETAILED PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
La Clé by Maaia
Location: Al Furjan, Dubai
Al Furjan is a Nakheel master-planned community in Dubai's south-western corridor, positioned between Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. It is a low-density, family-oriented district with a well-established residential population, its own metro station, parks, schools, clinics, and a growing network of retail and F&B outlets.
The community is characterised by a mix of villa clusters and mid-rise apartment buildings, producing a consistent daily footfall of residents, commuters, and visitors that sustains independent ground-floor operators.
What gives Al Furjan particular medium-term relevance is its proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport — the planned expansion of which is expected to substantially increase population density and commercial activity across the entire south-western Dubai corridor over the coming decade. For a retail operator or investor entering now, that trajectory is a meaningful component of the investment case.
La Clé occupies a prominent position within Al Furjan, with its ground-floor retail frontage facing the community street network — a location that captures both resident foot traffic and vehicle movement along one of the district's primary boulevards.
Project Overview
A Boutique Design-Led Residential Tower with Ground-Floor Retail
La Clé is a 7-storey residential development by Maaia — a real estate developer with a European design sensibility and an approach centred on high-end finishes, nature-connected aesthetics, and community-driven living. The building contains just 56 apartments across three bedroom configurations, making it a genuinely low-density building relative to the wider Al Furjan apartment stock. That selectivity — in unit count, in finish quality, and in resident profile — directly benefits a ground-floor retail operator seeking a captive audience with above-average spending capacity.
The building's design draws the outside in: large-format glazing, integrated greenery on balconies and podium levels, and a curved façade language that reads as design-conscious from the street. The ground-floor retail benefits from this visibility — the building presents well to passing traffic and the retail frontage is architecturally framed rather than incidental.
Two retail units are currently available for sale, both delivered shell and core, with handover scheduled for Q2 2027.

Location
Al Furjan: A Connected Community on Dubai's Growth Corridor
Al Furjan is one of Dubai's most consistently active residential communities. Its population base is stable, established, and continuing to grow as later-phase apartment developments complete. The community supports a broad retail ecosystem — from daily convenience to dining and wellness — and the demand profile across these categories is well-evidenced by the number of independent operators that have built sustainable businesses here.
The Al Furjan Metro Station provides direct metro access to the Red Line, connecting residents to Dubai Marina, JLT, and the wider city network. Festival Plaza and Ibn Battuta Mall are both within 10 minutes, meaning the community's primary retail spend is largely captured locally rather than dispersed to more distant centres. That local retention is positive for a standalone ground-floor operator.
The longer-term case rests on the Al Maktoum International Airport expansion. When operational at scale, the airport is expected to generate significant population and commercial growth across Jebel Ali, Al Furjan, Discovery Gardens, and the broader southern corridor — a structural tailwind for retail operators already positioned in the area.

Two shell and core units — at 1,336 sq. ft. and 2,067 sq. ft. — in a boutique, design-led building with a low residential unit count and a near-term handover give an operator or investor meaningful flexibility: one unit for a smaller-format concept, both together for a single operator requiring a larger combined footprint, or each held independently for tenant placement at a price point that reflects the building's quality positioning rather than the broader Al Furjan average.
