Project General Facts
There are three major zones:
The TOD Zone with Pond Park Apartments, Boulevard Neighbourhood (Outer Ring), and Central Park Neighbourhood (Inner Ring).

* TOD Zone with Pond Park Apartments
The TOD Zone comprises mixed-use buildings and Pond Park Apartments. This zone benefits from being served by a new metro station in the future. The apartments in this area will primarily consist of low to mid-rise apartment typologies, i.e., (G+5, G+9, and G+12).
* Boulevard Neighbourhood
The Boulevard Neighbourhood (Outer Ring) is the townhouse zone located between the outer and inner ring roads. Vehicular access to these plots is through the inner ring road, while pedestrian connectivity to this neighborhood will be facilitated by an extensive green loop system in addition to the inner and outer ring roads.
* Central Park Neighbourhood
The Central Park Neighbourhood also includes townhouses that loop within the inner ring road, providing access to a large central green park and neighborhood amenities. Utility plots are situated along the northeast site boundary, ensuring convenient accessibility from the existing external expressway.

Green Wood is planned to have a comprehensive cycling and pedestrian (jogging track) network that not only offers an internal pedestrian network within the project site but integrates with existing and future residential communities surrounding the site. This network enables residents to navigate through the active mobility network, aligning with the extensive green network, to reach their desired destinations. The network can serve multiple functions, including walking, running, exercising, and resting.
The overall urban form transitions from low-rise in the townhouse zone to mid and high-rise towards IC3 and the proposed metro station.
Building heights for townhouses are G+2, while for the apartment zones, they vary from G+5 to G+12. The maximum heights for mixed-use buildings are adjacent to the proposed metro.

Finishing and Materials
Exterior walls with high insulation values and the use of lightweight thermal insulating blocks or insulating wall cavities are encouraged.

**Walls**

* Walls should be decorated with openings and mostly plain or grooved as per design requirements. The use of projections that cast shadows and provide visual relief to the buildings is recommended. Overhang projections, cantilevers, and pergola shades are permitted as per design requirements.
* The townhouse design should emphasize the linearity of the structure.
* The parapet should not exceed 1.2m measured from the last layer of roof finish to the top of the parapet.

**Doors**

* Doors should have vertical proportions; width as per design requirements, and two-leaf double doors for entrances (preferably timber doors) are permitted with detailing as per design.
* The use of large panels of glass for doors and openings is preferred. Recessed or projected details around the doors are permitted.

**Windows**

* Upper-floor windows should be located and designed to avoid any overlooking views into adjacent properties.
* Window openings could be of vertical or horizontal proportions as per design intent.
* Frame-less windows and large panes of glazing are permitted.
* Bay windows facing adjoining plots are not allowed.

**Balconies**

* Balconies create interesting outdoor living spaces and should be shaded and screened. They are permitted only on the sides of the townhouses designed to avoid overlooking adjacent townhouses.
* The base height should not exceed 40cm, and a metal or glazed grill with a maximum height of 100cm is recommended. The overall height for balcony railings should be 1.2m.

**External Stairway**

* External stairways should be integrated with the building and landscape design, following the same color and finish as the main townhouse building. The design of external stairways should not feel like an afterthought addition to the building.

Location Description and Benefits
The project site is located only 15km from the heart of Business Bay in Dubai and is conveniently accessed by two major east-west running express highways, Al Awir Road and Al Ain Dubai Road.
The project site is in close proximity to Silicon Oasis, with direct access via both existing and future vehicular roads, providing significant advantages in terms of vehicular accessibility. The site also features pedestrian and cycling tracks connecting the project site to its surrounding areas. In addition, there will be a future metro station along the northwestern site boundary, enhancing ease of public transportation access and creating a transit-oriented plaza integrated with the metro station.
The project site is well-surrounded by a mixture of residential communities, academic institutions, and a high-tech cluster. This favorable condition presents a great opportunity to create a focal public amenity accessible and enjoyable by a larger community audience.
