Keturah represents a paradigm shift in luxury real estate, seamlessly blending opulence with well-being to create unparalleled living experiences.

Keturah launched at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Dubai, Creekside within Keturah Resort, the first development in the region to pursue a WELL Health-Safety Rating certification. The development comprises 264 residences across 7 buildings and 12 mansions, each featuring exclusive yacht parking for residents.

This was followed by Keturah Reserve another first in the Middle East with its ‘Bio Living’ concept which completely immerses residents in landscaped nature. Bio Living is rooted in biophilic design, architecture, and interior design, which were conceived to incorporate nature into the built environment to improve the physical, mental, and emotional health of its occupants. Bio Living at Keturah Reserve creates the perfect synergy between interior design, architecture, and landscape, completely respecting the surrounding ecosystem.
Both interiors and architecture at the development are crafted from the same raw materials and colours to subtly merge the architecture with the surrounding desert landscape. Travertine, wood, and bronze link the inside with the outside. The restrained colour palette of bleached bone, champagne and bronze further introduces the natural landscape inside the home. Lush-growing nature is visible from every vista, including olive trees, palm trees, green walls, balcony planters, and rooftop gardens.
Keturah Reserve homes are designed with double-volume interior spaces, increasing the flow and circulation of naturally cooled air. Open plan spaces without corridors or hallways optimize the flow of passage. Furniture and fixtures are custom-designed and produced for each space. They blend perfectly into the interior, freeing the flow of movement, and elevating the resident’s physical and mental well-being.
With Keturah Reserve, Talal Al Gaddah aims to offer people space, space of mind, and space to relax. The development is built with care, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality. It is a development that allows its residents to breathe and enjoy privacy while also allowing them to mingle and connect with their community.
From the distinguished Keturah Resort to the pioneering Keturah Reserve, each project bears the hallmark of excellence, setting new standards for luxury living in the UAE and beyond.
With each project, Talal continues to push the boundaries of possibility, shaping the future of real estate and leaving an indelible mark on the Dubai real estate landscape.
Under Talal’s leadership, the real estate portfolio of MAG has reached over USD 5 billion, with 14 projects completed and 7 under development.
