Primero Residences at a glance
Primero Residences, a high-rise apartment tower, is being built in the Al Furjan community of Dubai. We wrote this profile for current unit holders, for people trading units on the resale market, and for buyers setting it against other Al Furjan schemes. It covers the tower, the community around it and the Dubai Land Department register entry.
The tower is specified at 19 storeys, with two levels of car parking below ground, and its design takes its cue from Miami.
The apartments
The apartments are specified as split-level, in one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom types. Some apartments are specified with a private pool of their own, and others without.
The finishes named for the project are ceramic floor tiling, built-in glass-fronted wardrobes in every bedroom, and storage built into the bathrooms. The kitchens are specified with handleless drawers, Calacatta gold worktops, an integrated washer-dryer, a refrigerator, and a gas hob with an oven. The lobby is planned in a neutral, pared-back style.
Facilities
The shared facilities planned for the building are:
- a swimming pool and a children's pool
- a gym, a sauna and a steam room
- a running track
- yoga and meditation areas
- a clubhouse
- a children's playground and an indoor play area
- barbecue facilities
With work still under way, the list describes what is named for the project, not what is open now.
Al Furjan
Nakheel is the master developer of Al Furjan, in the Jebel Ali First district, working through a subsidiary that carries the community's name. Translated from Arabic, Al Furjan means a small village or a collection of houses, and the layout follows that: clusters of villas and townhouses joined by walkways and green space. Landscaping is complete on over 30 parks and footpaths, a quarter of the overall plan by area.
Phase 1 counts 819 houses, every one with its own garden and terrace. Roughly half are terraced; the rest are stand-alone villas offering three, five or six bedrooms. Apartment blocks, serviced apartments among them, have since risen beside the villa clusters, and Primero Residences is one of the blocks now under construction.
Al Furjan Pavilion opened in December 2016 on the south side of the community. Inside are a supermarket, a medical clinic, 24 shops and 10 cafés and restaurants, and its car park takes more than 300 vehicles. The community is on the Dubai Metro Red Line's Route 2020 branch, with its own Al Furjan station.
For schooling, The Arbor School is 0.5 km from Primero Residences and Arcadia Global School is 1.5 km away.
