The zone facing north near Al Khail Road will have two shopping malls, mid-rise residential towers built along a 7 km long boulevard with a variety of shopping and dining options.
The third zone is designed for higher density villas and townhouses set within two residential communities: Sidra and Maple. Sidra has three phases: the first has 170 villas, 160 for the second, and the third phase is yet to be launched. Maple 1 and 2 have more than 1,300 townhouses underway.
