Overview
About Shamal's Jumeirah 1 Garden Community
What we know so far about this release.
Shamal Holding awarded the main construction contract in August 2026 for roughly 90 low-rise homes on the former Dubai Zoo site in Jumeirah 1, arranged around shared courtyards and a central park that retains mature trees from the original site.
Current indications are that Shamal will retain and lease the homes rather than sell them, so we track this as a rental and district-value item rather than a purchase opportunity.
