Every conversation, piece of feedback and interaction with our residents gives us a deeper understanding of what matters most to them. These everyday connections allow us to listen, respond and help shape experiences that make our communities feel truly welcoming and connected. With a calendar full of activities in the months ahead, we're especially looking forward to seeing residents come together to create new memories, strengthen connections and celebrate the vibrant spirit that makes each community unique. From family-friendly gatherings and seasonal celebrations to wellness activities and special experiences, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

With consistent care, innovative solutions and a residentsfirst approach, your community continues to grow stronger. Here’s a look at the changes and improvements in your neighbourhood during these past three months.
A Touch of Nature Landscape enhancement works have been completed at Al Furjan, with the main roundabout enhanced with new greenery to create a more welcoming arrival experience.
The refresh continues across the community, with new shrubs and ornamental grasses planted in shared outdoor spaces, adding more colour, texture and freshness to the surroundings. With the cooler months around the corner, the refreshed landscape offers even more reason to step outside and enjoy the community.

A New Chapter for Quortaj 4 Quortaj 4 has stepped into a new chapter as Al Furjan’s latest gated community, bringing greater privacy, security and peace of mind to its 152 villas.

Safer Journeys, Every Step of the Way New pedestrian flasher lights installed across multiple locations are making crossings easier to spot, helping pedestrians cross with greater confidence while keeping motorists more alert.
That same focus on safer movement continues near Arbor School, where a new speed hump is helping bring vehicle speeds down in a busy area, creating a safer environment for students, parents, pedestrians and everyone on the road.
Little Feet Are Back on the Move The new school term brings familiar faces, excited chatter and little feet making their way through the community. Our Protect Little Feet campaign is a friendly reminder to take extra care when driving near schools, walkways and crossings. Let’s look out for our youngest residents, every step of the way.

GOOD TO KNOW: YOUR GARDEN EDITION
Point to note: Damas trees are not permitted on villa premises as their roots can affect drains and pipes.
"Garden waste can go out with my regular garbage."
Residents are responsible for disposing of green waste through their service provider, who must leave the area clean.
"I can plant a tree anywhere in my garden."
Keep large trees at least 1.5 metres from boundary walls to avoid damage to walls and surrounding areas.
"My garden just needs to look green."
Trim plants, clear pathways and remove dry leaves to help prevent pests and fire hazards.
"I can water my garden as much as I like."
Avoid overwatering to conserve water and help prevent mosquito breeding.
"My plants can grow beyond my property."
Keep your landscaping trimmed to protect shared spaces and neighbouring properties.
"I can use a leaf blower whenever I need to."
Use leaf blowers only during permitted daytime hours (Mon-Fri, 9AM-1PM & 3PM-5PM).
Leave the common areas to the experts! Common-area landscaping is professionally maintained, so please don’t alter it or interfere with scheduled tree pruning.
