Cranley Summary
Nuran Greens Serviced Residences consists of two very modern towers in a new development in the Greens area of Dubai close to Internet and Media Cities and Jebel Ali. There is a third residential tower as part of the same development, with the three blocks enclosing an area that contains well stocked gardens, a good sized swimming pool, a gym and a children's playground, as well as a basketball net. The two Nuran Greens towers are seven storey buildings, comprising 228 apartments between them. The residences are made up of Studio Executive, One and Two Bedroom Executive and Premier apartments and their location in The Greens puts them within easy reach of the commercial centre of Jebel Ali and Internet and Media cities. They are also well located for the shopping malls and golf courses. Nuran Greens Serviced Residences has a small community hall and a coffee shop on-site, with local shops and restaurants just a few minutes walk away.

Layout Description
The Nuran Greens Serviced Residences consists of two towers, each of which has their own entrances and Guest Services desks. The two towers and their entrances are mirror images, so that guests will find themselves in identical lobby areas, with the reception desks to the left or right, dependent upon the block. From each lobby area, guests have access to the grounds of the complex, where the swimming pool, gym, children's play area and the basketball net are all located. The guest apartments in each tower are served by two lifts in each, which can only be activated by the guests' key cards. The only difference between the two towers is that one has a Costa Coffee shop on the ground floor.

Cranley Comment
There are two blocks that comprise the Nuran Greens Serviced Residences, each of which has their own Guest Services reception desk. In the first of these, guests enter the building up nine steps from street level, through two sets of double glass doors. There is also a ramp for disabled guests. The two lifts to the guest's apartments are to the left and the main lobby area is to the right hand side, with the Guest Services desk on the right. The lobby area has two sofas and a coffee table opposite the Guest Services desk, with a number of potted plants around and a flat screen TV on the wall. Immediately past the seated area are double glass doors that lead into the central courtyard and swimming pool area. The second building is almost a mirror image of the first, except that the Costa Coffee shop is on the right hand side on entering the building, opposite the guest lifts.
Shops & Amenities
Cranley Comment
The Nuran Greens Serviced Residences does not have any shops on site, but Guest Services will obtain groceries on guests' behalf when required. The Greens is quite a large development, but the nearest shops and restaurants are less than ten minutes walk away. The shops include a good sized supermarket and a beauty salon and there are a few restaurants and coffee shops in the same area.

There are 36 Studio Executive Apartments located throughout the Residences, which are very modern. The design of the apartments varies according to their exact location, but all of them feature the same facilities and furnishings. The lounge area is equipped with a two seater sofa and coffee table, LCD TV, DVD and CD player and all of the very modern furniture is in black wood. The bedroom area adjoins the lounge and is furnished with a king-size bed. All of the bed linen and soft furnishings reflect the corporate colours of Nuran Greens Serviced Residences parent company, The Emaar Group, with shades of gold, brown and white being used throughout. Adjacent to the bed is a writing desk with a connection for a laptop computer. Also adjoining the lounge is a very well equipped open kitchen with the equipment as listed above.

More than half of the total apartments at Nuran Greens Serviced Residences consist of One Bedroom Executive Apartments and they are located throughout the two blocks. They are approximately double the size of the studios, with the additional space being in the lounge and the bedroom, which has an armchair and a second television. The design of the apartments varies according to their location, but generally open into a small square hallway, with the kitchen almost immediately to the left or right. Some of the kitchens have a serving counter, whilst others have a breakfast bar and stools. There is a good sized lounge, which has two 2 seater sofas, together with a coffee table, LCD TV, DVD and CD player. There is also a dining table with four chairs. The broadband internet connection and power socket for a laptop are both close to the table. The small utility room containing the washer/dryer and ironing equipment is located in the hallway. The bathroom is unusual, in that it is accessible both from the hallway and also the bedroom. All equipment, furnishings and décor are as for the Studio Executive Apartment. All of the apartments have balconies, with nearly half of them having a pool view.

There are 24 Two Bedroom Executive Apartments at Nuran Greens Serviced Residences and they are located throughout the two blocks. They are largely the same as the one bedroom executive apartments, with the additional space coming from the second bedroom and second bathroom. Whilst the master bedroom has a king size bed and en suite facilities, the second bedroom has a queen size bed, with the bathroom next door. The design of the apartments vary according to their location, but all of them have the same well equipped kitchen, good sized lounge and utility room as the smaller apartments. Once again, all other equipment, furnishings and décor are as for the One Bedroom Executive Apartment and all of the two bedroom apartments have balconies, with either a pool view or road view.

They are largely the same as the two bedroom executive apartments, but with the addition of an alcove area for use as a study, since it contains a writing desk, chair and lamp and is equipped with a broadband connection and power socket for a laptop. Otherwise, although the design of the apartments vary according to their location, they contain everything that is to be found in the two bedroom executive apartments, with furniture and equipment appropriate to the number of guests they will take. All of the two bedroom premier apartments have balconies, with either a pool view or road view.
