About Ghaf Woods

Ghaf Woods is Majid Al Futtaim's forest-themed master-planned community in Dubailand, built around the idea that a Dubai neighbourhood can genuinely feel green rather than just claim to be. Two projects currently sit in our catalogue here — Capria and Lacina Residences — and both reflect a developer that knows how to deliver at scale. This is a community aimed squarely at families and long-term residents who want density done right: tree-lined streets, pedestrian-first planning, and a clear alternative to the glass-and-marble default. We think it's one of the more considered master-plans to emerge from Dubai in recent years.

Frequently asked questions about Ghaf Woods

Is Ghaf Woods a freehold community?
Ghaf Woods is part of Dubai's freehold framework — international buyers can take 100% ownership with full title registered at the Dubai Land Department. Purchases above AED 2 million qualify for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa. Properties below AED 750,000 may also qualify the buyer for a 2-year residence visa.
Can foreigners buy property in Ghaf Woods?
Yes. Ghaf Woods sits within Dubai's freehold zones, where international buyers take perpetual 100% ownership with title registered at the Dubai Land Department. No UAE residency is required to buy, though purchases above AED 750,000 (2-year visa) or AED 2 million (10-year Golden Visa) entitle owners to apply for residence.
What payment plans are available in Ghaf Woods?
Most off-plan projects in Ghaf Woods offer staged payment plans tied to construction milestones — typically a 10–20% deposit at booking, instalments through the build, and a balance on handover (commonly 60/40 or 70/30 splits). Some developers also offer post-handover payment plans of 1–3 years. Each project page above lists its specific plan.
What fees should I expect when buying in Ghaf Woods?
Standard one-time costs for any Dubai property purchase: 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, AED 4,000 DLD admin fee, 2% real estate agent commission, AED 4,000 trustee/registration fee, and a mortgage registration fee of 0.25% of the loan amount if you're financing.
