Founded in 2005 by Zaal Mohamed Zaal, Al Barari Development Company has established itself as Dubai’s premier eco-conscious, luxury property developer. The master-planned Al Barari community spans approximately 15 million sq ft (1.4 million sqm) with over 60% dedicated to green space—botanical gardens, lakes, and streams. Projects within the community include sub-developments like The Residences, Ashjar, Seventh Heaven, The Nest, The Reserve, Chorisia, Ixora, and Lunaria. The community’s first phase, featuring 300 villas and 34 botanical gardens, was fully completed in December 2019, followed by multiple phases of villas and apartments. Al Barari's master community has received acclaim and awards for sustainable development and luxury living.

Although privately held, Al Barari has executed a multi-phased, large-scale master development over two decades—indicative of strong long-term capital and financial resilience. Estimated development costs exceed AED 23 billion, and annual property values continue to rise, with luxury villa ROI around 6–7% per year. The developer remains active in off-plan launches such as Altissima and Ixora, suggesting continuous investment flows and financial stability.

Al Barari’s developments blend high-end residential architecture with lush landscaping and resort-style amenities. Villas and apartments feature large floor-to-ceiling windows, designer finishes, and integration with water bodies and themed gardens. The community includes high-end restaurants (e.g., The Farm), the Heart & Soul spa, Body Language fitness club, retail zones, gourmet dining, and an onsite plant nursery supporting biodiversity. Developments like The Nest and Chorisia feature villas averaging over 2,500 sq m, private pools, smart-home systems, and spa-level finishes.

Operating in accordance with UAE regulations, Al Barari is fully licensed and registered with relevant land and regulatory authorities. All projects are escrow-protected and adhere to Dubai Municipality’s environmental impact guidelines. There are no records of fines, license violations, or regulatory non-compliance. The community’s development has aligned with approvals and environmental frameworks designed to preserve local biodiversity.

Residential feedback is positive. Splurge villa buyers report appreciation for private, health-focused community designs. Reddit users praise build quality and community character—though some note higher service charges and occasional property size discrepancies on upper floors. Connectivity and commuting are cited as acceptable given the premium and tranquil environment. Overall, owners enjoy the lifestyle blend of privacy, greenery, and luxury.

Al Barari is widely recognized as a model for luxury, green living in Dubai, and regularly ranks among GCC’s top 100 developers. It is celebrated for pioneering low-density, nature-rich urban environments—earning awards such as Sustainable Development of the Year and Best Luxury Residential Project in 2017. The brand is positioned as aspirational, exclusive, and environmentally conscientious.

With 60–80% green space, its own commercial plant nursery, themed ecological gardens, lakes, and water recycling systems, Al Barari stands at the forefront of eco-residential developments in Dubai. Key community features include underground waste separation, rainwater recycling, smart irrigation, and energy-efficient infrastructure. Wildlife habitats are deliberately preserved, highlighting a genuine commitment to environmental stewardship.
