Beyond Developments has launched the Middle East’s first Forest District by the Sea, introducing a new approach for sustainable and wellness-focused communities. Located in Dubai Maritime City, the development blends coastal vibrancy with forest-inspired tranquility, aligning with the Dubai 2040 Master Plan, the UAE Net Zero 2050 Strategy, and the D33 Economic Agenda.

Here's a sneak peek into the first forest-sea integrated community in Dubai.

Forest District by the Sea - An Overview

This latest launch by Beyond Developments brings together ecology, design, and wellbeing, offering residents a lifestyle where city living is balanced with restorative natural surroundings. The district is designed as more than a residential space; it is an example of how communities can grow when nature and modern life are thoughtfully integrated.

The Forest District by the Sea will cover 65,000 sq. m. of community parks, including 55,000 sq. m. of preserved native woodland. With up to 75% tree canopy coverage, it will establish a naturally cooler microclimate that enhances comfort for residents.

The new community will feature interconnected shaded walkways, forest-view fitness areas, garden zones, and leisure trails, encouraging outdoor activity, mindfulness, and stronger community connections. Designed as a sustainable and wellness-focused environment, the district brings together the energy of the coast with the calm of the forest, offering an unprecedented lifestyle in the region.

Introducing Talea: The First Tower in the Forest District

At the center of this development is Talea by Beyond Developments Dubai, the first residential tower in the district. With flowing architecture, vertical greenery, and generous glazing, Talea draws inspiration from the natural rhythm of earth and water.

The tower will feature 354 residences, ranging from 1 to 3-bedroom apartments to a limited collection of 4-bedroom penthouses, each offering views of the skyline, coastline, and woodland.

With interiors designed in natural tones and layouts filled with light, Talea embraces the beauty of its environment while providing modern urban comfort. It marks the first step in Beyond’s long-term vision for a resilient and future-focused community.

What Lies Ahead

Forest District by the Sea is the beginning of a larger plan. Beyond has announced additional projects within the Forest District, each reflecting the company’s focus on blending nature, architecture, and human experience. These upcoming projects will reinforce the community’s reputation as a distinctive destination for those seeking a balance between innovation and natural living.
