A new, truly unique residential cluster is being launched in Dubai — Forest District by Beyond Developments (developer brand Omniyat), located in Dubai Maritime City (DMC). This is the region's first “forest area by the sea” that combines biophilic architecture, eco-design and coastal lifestyle in one place.

Forest District's flagship project will be the Talea residential complex, and the concept itself is already being positioned as a new type of urban environment that combines nature, sea and architecture.

What is Beyond's Forest District?

Forest District is not just a marketing term, it's part of a master plan Dubai Maritime City, with detailed architectural and landscape design. Key features:

• Three interconnected zones: The Cove (coastal), The Forest (forest), The Promenade (waterfront).

• The Talea project claims 65,000 m² of parkland and 55,000 m² of forest plantation—a scale unprecedented in Dubai.

• The forest part will include lakes, shady alleys, forest gardens and walking routes linking sea and nature.

• The neighborhood is located between Port Rashid and the coast, with access to the sea.

• Integration with future RTA infrastructure, footbridges and subway stations is planned.

What is unique about the master plan Beyond?

1. Biophilic architecture

Greenery is not just decor. A real forest is being created here, in which residential buildings are located. This is not about “green views”, but about living in greenery — and at the same time by the sea.

2. Soft integration of three ecosystems

The sea, the forest and the city are connected without rigid boundaries: residents will be able to move from beach to forest and to the promenade without feeling fragmented.

3. The living structure of the quarter

Unlike most residential complexes with “green pockets”, forest fabric is embedded in the street and pedestrian network, creating a full sense of living in nature.

4. Sustainability technologies

Green facades, microclimate control technologies, rainwater collection systems, natural shading and ventilation are used — everything for eco-friendly living.

5. “Forest by the Sea” Marketing

Beyond It clearly positions Forest District as the first district in the region where you can live in a forest by the water. This makes it possible to stand out sharply from other projects on the shore.

6. Variety of housing

The master plan includes:

• 1BR, 2BR, 3BR, 4BR apartments

• Penthouses with sea and forest views

• Different densities and formats — from private areas to public spaces‍

What is important for investors to consider?

Forest District is a next-generation concept, but it also brings with it certain challenges:

• Green zones require serious support: automatic watering, salt protection, care are critical for stability

• The implementation of the entire infrastructure — bridges, subways, accessibility — directly affects the value of the project

• Competition: Dubai already has premium coastal projects (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Harbour, La Mer), and the positioning of the “green coast” must be implemented efficiently

• The “Forest District” concept is currently at the initial stage of implementation — full completion will take several years

Conclusion: the first of its kind “forest area” by the sea is not a hype, but a new niche

Beyond launches a next-level ecosystem housing cluster. This is not just a place to live by the water, it is a natural city created in a marine environment. This format is:

• attractive to investors with a focus on sustainability and architecture

• opens up new types of market positioning

• suitable for long-term ROI and life-style investments
