    Luxury golf residences set in a rolling green landscape.

     

    Arranged around the 18-hole Els golf club and adjacent to recreational hub Dubai Sports City, Victory Heights is a residential community that provides a haven of calm and quiet for residents.

    Cracknell’s design of the public realm and streetscapes lends a unique artistry throughout, achieving a sense of serenity and security. Rolling green hills of the golf estate are echoed thematically throughout the gated development, expanding the space and creating luxurious arrival experiences.

     

    Enhanced walkways, children’s playgrounds, and large open spaces complement amenities including community clubhouses and multiple swimming pools. A cycle track – the first of its kind at the time – circulates the community.

    Tilal Al Ghaf

    Set within a natural desert region, sensitive trails and parks integrate this residential community with the village centre.

    Borrowing from the adjacent desert language, native plants and trees create a low-key place-responsive environment. Iconic ghaf trees nestle amongst swaying native grasses to create an atmospheric community landscape that embraces and celebrates it’s special desert location.
