Sellable area totals approximately 2.02 million square meters, with the remaining 2.15 million square meters dedicated to spacious boulevards, sprawling parks & green areas, public buildings & monuments and shared infrastructure.
The project's defining feature is the structure of its sovereign relationship: the land is allocated by the Republic of Azerbaijan, while infrastructure development, marketing & sales and operations are entrusted to Husnain Global LLC. This arrangement removes the single greatest risk in emerging-market real estate — counterparty risk on the land itself — and gives buyers a clean and transparent freehold title transfer process that is rare for foreign nationals in the region.
The site is organized into five planned districts, each with a distinct character — from quiet residential lanes to a bustling commercial spine and an anchor destination mall. Together they form a self-contained urban environment with the scale of a small city.
From compact town houses to specialty mall units and high-rise commercial space — infrastructure of every category is built to global engineering standard with clear freehold title and the seamless direct relationship with the master plan.
125 SQM units in clustered terraces — the most accessible entry point into freehold ownership.

1,000 SQM estate villas — the largest residential format. Limited availability, located in low-density quarters.
Premium tower-format commercial space along the Commercial Spine. Suited to corporate, hospitality, healthcare and educational occupiers and investors.
125 SQM street-level units — ideal for retail, F&B, professional services, and neighborhood-scale tenancies.

A long-term joint venture agreement between the Government of Azerbaijan and Husnain Global LLC governs the entire project. Foreign buyers receive freehold title — a rare structural feature in the region, and the foundation of investor confidence in this development.
The 417-hectare site is provided by the Republic of Azerbaijan as the government's contribution to the joint venture. There is no third-party landowner to negotiate with, no expropriation risk, and no local title encumbrance.
Buyers of any nationality receive perpetual freehold ownership — the same title structure available to Azerbaijani citizens. This treatment is contractually preserved by the JV.
Property purchase qualifies foreign buyers for residency consideration under prevailing Azerbaijani immigration provisions, providing additional optionality beyond the asset itself.
All purchase transactions are denominated in US dollars, removing manat exposure for foreign buyers. The model maintains the AZN-USD peg policy that has held since 2017.
