UAE-based Continental Investments, a leading real estate developer, has launched its Dh1-billion ($272 million) Rukan Residence project, offering upscale living in Dubailand.

Rukan Residence is located next to Arabian Ranches project, top shopping centres, golf courses and entertainment facilities. Some 70 per cent of the 2.6 million-sq-ft project is allocated for public open areas and green landscape. The project includes a serviced residential complex made up of villas, townhouses, twin houses, studios and luxury apartments in various sizes.

In addition, there will be a commercial area comprising retail space, special paths for walking, entertainment facilities, which include tennis courts, a sports club, special routes for running and cycling, a nursery and a mosque.

The launch of Rukan Residence comes in line with the company’s strategy to expand its special projects, especially following the success of the Dh400-million Continental Tower, located in the Dubai Marina.

The building’s 555 flats distributed along 29 residential floors offer striking views and feature a range of entertainment facilities.
