Norah Residence was developed in collaboration with the award-winning architectural firm NAGA Architects. The project includes 183 carefully designed units ranging from studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, two-bedroom duplex, and three-bedroom duplex apartments.
The development combines smart home technologies with refined interior designs and provides a distinctive lifestyle experience. Residents enjoy access to recreational facilities including a cinema lounge, café, gym, yoga hall, and a children's play area. The units offer peaceful views overlooking the pool, Halfa Park, and the panoramic skyline featuring the iconic FIVE JVC hotel.
Unit prices start at Dh650,000, with a special 40/60 payment plan, offering an attractive investment opportunity for both residents and investors seeking long-term value in Dubai's real estate market. The project is scheduled for handover by the end of Q2 2027.
Norah Bint Tareq Bin Ali Al Tamimi, vice-chairperson of Al Tareq Star, said: 'At Al Tareq Star, we believe that housing goes beyond walls and structures. It creates a complete environment that supports growth and wellbeing. With Norah Residence, we were committed to delivering an urban model that reflects a modern quality of life. This project embodies our vision and mission to build contemporary communities.'
With a strong legacy of over 80 years of combined experience in Saudi Arabia, Al Tareq Star continues to lead as a developer that merges cultural depth with innovation in modern design. Norah Residence marks the company's latest milestone and its debut project in Dubai.
