About Majid Al Futtaim
Majid Al Futtaim was founded in Dubai in 1992 by Majid Al Futtaim. The group built some of the region's best-known shopping destinations, including Mall of the Emirates, opened in 2005 in Al Barsha, and the City Centre malls, and has operated Carrefour hypermarkets in the region as franchisee since 1995.
Its first large residential community in Dubai is Tilal Al Ghaf, launched in 2018: a master plan of about 3 million square metres with more than 6,500 homes around Lagoon Al Ghaf, a swimmable lagoon of over 70,000 square metres with a sandy beach. Neighbourhoods include Harmony, Serenity, Elan, Aura, Alaya, Amara, Lanai Island, Plagette 32 and Elysian Mansions.
In 2024 Majid Al Futtaim presented Ghaf Woods — a forest-inspired community of about 738,000 square metres off Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Road near Global Village, to be released in phases through 2031. Its apartment clusters include Capria, Cilia, Serra, Lacina, Maravelle Residences and Distrikt.
