Dubai, UAE, 6th January 2026- Al Ghurair Development, Al Ghurair’s freehold real estate arm, has appointed Geo Foundation Group as the enabling works contractor for The Weave, its design-led residential development in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC). The appointment comes six weeks after the project’s official launch, which saw its first release sell out. It marks a key construction milestone as the company’s first premium freehold project transitions from planning to on-ground activity, with site works set to commence immediately.
Geo Foundation Group, a UAE-based specialist in geotechnical and foundation engineering with a track record spanning major developments across the Emirates, will oversee the full enabling works for the development.
Commenting on the appointment, Sultan Al Ghurair, Chief Executive Officer of Al Ghurair Development, said: “The Weave is a project that demonstrates practical design and long-term value, and every partner we bring on board plays a crucial role in achieving that vision. Geo Foundation’s track record and technical expertise give us confidence as we move into the construction phase. This is where the project starts to take shape on the ground, and we are committed to setting a strong foundation for the development ahead.”
The Weave comprises 130 one-, two- and three-bedroom+ residences ranging from approximately 700 to 2,200 sq ft, with prices starting from AED 1.2 million. The first release has already sold out, reflecting strong buyer response to the project’s contemporary design ethos and focus on thoughtful living.
Designed in collaboration with award-winning Australian architect Joe Adsett, marking his first Middle East project, The Weave draws inspiration from ‘safafa’, the traditional weaving of palm fronds, reinterpreted through a contemporary façade of sculptural, interwoven balconies. Each residence is shaped around natural light, privacy, and comfort, with access to a rooftop club offering wellness amenities, an infinity pool, a private cinema, and social spaces.
Located along the fringe of JVC, The Weave places residents within reach of Circle Mall, with easy access to Al Khail Road, while offering convenient access to key business hubs including Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City, as well as both of the city’s international airports.
The Weave is the first project under Al Ghurair Development’s premium residential portfolio, set to be completed in 2028, with additional developments planned near Al Barari and The Wilds scheduled for launch in 2026. Further construction milestones will be announced as works progress.
