Al Ghurair Development has appointed Julfar Contracting as the main contractor for its Weave project in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), marking a significant step forward in the development of this premium residential community. The announcement follows the completion of enabling works ahead of schedule in July, with construction now progressing rapidly towards a targeted completion date in the second quarter of 2028.
Weave, designed by Australian architect Joe Adsett, features 130 apartments ranging from 1- to 3-bedroom units, with sizes varying between 700 and 2,200 square feet. The project aims to reflect Al Ghurair Development’s philosophy of creating homes that cater to the evolving needs of residents, integrating thoughtful architecture with practical planning.
Sultan Al Ghurair, CEO of Al Ghurair Development, emphasized the importance of this contract award, stating, “Completing the enabling works ahead of schedule shows the discipline we bring to delivery.” He expressed confidence in Julfar Contracting’s ability to execute the project with precision, ensuring that the architectural vision is realized while maintaining functionality and design integrity.
Julfar Contracting, part of the Rashed Al Jabri Group of Companies, brings over three decades of experience in delivering residential and commercial projects across Dubai and the UAE. The contractor has already mobilized a dedicated team of over 100 professionals to oversee the project, with 70% of substructure works reportedly completed.
Architectural Vision and Amenities
The architectural design of Weave draws inspiration from ‘safafa’, the traditional weaving of palm fronds, reinterpreted in a modern context. The project features sculptural balconies that enhance the façade’s depth and movement. Inside, the residences are designed with open living areas and private spaces that promote comfort and tranquility.
Weave will also include a rooftop residents’ club, offering a range of amenities such as a rooftop pool, Jacuzzis, fitness facilities, and a private cinema. These features aim to foster a sense of community and well-being among residents.
Future Developments
Weave is the first project in Al Ghurair Development’s premium residential portfolio, which includes several upcoming projects such as Tessera, a townhouse-inspired community in Dubai South, and a residential development in Wadi Al Safa 3 designed by Neri&Hu. The company is also working on a district-scale masterplan in Al Jaddaf, led by Pelli Clarke & Partners.
Rashed Matar Al Jabri, Founder & Chairman of Rashed Al Jabri Group, highlighted the technical challenges of the Weave project, stating, “We are pleased to partner with Al Ghurair Development on its delivery, bringing our technical expertise and rigorous approach to every stage of construction.”
As construction progresses, Weave is poised to become a notable addition to the JVC landscape, reflecting both innovative design and a commitment to quality living.
