· 422 residential units are now available to purchase including a wide selection of villas and apartments.
Embarking on a significant path towards achieving net zero emissions, The Sustainable City – Yiti announced the much-anticipated launch of property sales for phase one of the largest sustainable community in the region, with 422 residential units designed in line with the highest social, environmental, and economic sustainability standards.
A diverse selection of 136 eco-friendly residential villas will be available for purchase, each showcasing an elegant and energy-efficient design with spacious three and four-bedroom units. Additionally, a wide variety of 286 modern apartments will be offered, ranging from cosy studios to expansive three-bedroom units. All are designed to enhance the quality of life for residents while reducing their carbon emissions.
The city will be powered by clean, renewable energy sources, prominently featuring solar panels that are tactically mounted on rooftops and parking facilities. This approach enables residents to achieve up to 100% energy bill savings. Simultaneously, the introduction of high-efficiency water systems will lead to a significant decrease in water bills, potentially by as much as 50%.
Expected to be completed by 2025, the development will feature a green spine running the length of the community, complete with biodomes and community gardens. This holistic, wellness-inspired environment aims to reduce air and noise pollution with its car-free areas and a variety of outdoor amenities promoting an active lifestyle. These include gyms, swimming pools, a running and jogging track, a cycling track, hiking trails, and an equestrian club.
The development provides an environment for its residents to live, work, and thrive within the community. It boasts a comprehensive masterplan that includes a plaza featuring commercial outlets, a school and nursery, 5-star Nikki Beach Resort & Spa, a 4-star hotel, a wellness center, an autism center, and an educational institute.
