ALMAR Residences

ALMAR Residences is a building of 176 homes in Al Mouj Muscat and the first project in Oman by Aurelian Development. The community beach and the oceanfront walkways are 50 to 100 metres from the site, and the marina, a park and restaurants are 200 to 400 metres away. The building has a ground floor, ten upper floors and a roof over three levels of indoor parking, and completion is planned for Q2 2029.

The homes

There are 62 one-bedroom apartments, 61 two-bedroom, 27 two-bedroom with a study (the 2.5-bedroom type), 12 three-bedroom, 10 two-level Sunset Houses and 4 penthouses. Saleable areas start at 78 m² for a one-bedroom, 123 m² for a two-bedroom, 152 m² for a 2.5-bedroom and 219 m² for a three-bedroom. A Sunset House measures about 200 m² with a private garden of 32 m², and the penthouses measure 303 and 473 m², with terraces of 98 and 215 m². Twenty homes have a garden and twenty-one a terrace. Sixty-eight look directly or partly over the sea, 84 over the community and 24 over the pool or playground.

Finishes

Every home comes with a fitted kitchen and built-in wardrobes, ready for your own furniture. The standard specification has Jotun paint, Atlas Concorde porcelain tiles, light oak doors and brushed nickel fixtures. Penthouses, Sunset Houses and three-bedroom apartments have the premium specification, with natural marble, engineered oak floors, San Marco plaster and brushed brass fixtures. Any home can be upgraded with one of two colour palettes, Burgundy or Emerald, which change the textiles, accent furniture and decorative finishes. The interiors are by C2ICC Studio, the architecture by Norway-based Northstar and the landscape by Square M.

Amenities

Outside there is an infinity pool, a leisure pool, a kids' pool, sun loungers, poolside cabanas, a BBQ lounge, a yoga and meditation area, an outdoor playground, private gardens, a walking path and a waterfront promenade. Inside there is a lounge with a private meeting space, an indoor kids' area, a family leisure room, a gym, a yoga room, a reception and a guard room. Parking is indoors, with 319 spaces and car charging: one space for a one-bedroom and two for the larger homes shown in the brochure.

Getting around

By car, ALMAR is 10 minutes from Muscat International Airport and The International School of Choueifat, 11 from Al Mouj Golf Course and Assafwah International School, 17 from Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, 20 from Mall of Oman, 25 from the Royal Opera House Muscat and 35 from The National Museum of Oman.

Registering and paying

ALMAR is at the pre-launch stage, and priority registration is open. It is free and carries no commitment: a buyer signs the form, names up to three preferred homes and receives a priority number, and can withdraw at any time. Homes are chosen in priority order on Selection Day in December, and the reservation is completed within 48 hours. The payment plan is tied to construction: 10% on signing the sale and purchase agreement, six payments of 9% from the piling works to the facade, indicatively Q2 2027 to Q4 2028, and 36% on practical completion and handover. VAT of 5% is added. Al Mouj is an Integrated Tourism Complex, so buyers of any nationality can own their home outright.

Its team members have between them delivered more than 25 projects with 2.2 million m² of gross building area, and have over 60 years of joint experience in development and investment.
