Telal Al Qurm 2026: The Complete Guide to Freehold Apartments & Townhouses in Muscat's Most Prestigious Neighbourhood

If you are looking for property for sale in Qurum, Muscat — in an integrated community offering upscale living, freehold ownership and Oman residency — Telal Al Qurm by Alargan International is the address to know. Located in the heart of Qurum, one of Muscat's most established and vibrant districts, the project includes more than 1,500 apartments, 46 townhouses and 190 serviced apartments, complemented by two 4-star hotels, an aqua park, a cinema complex and commercial spaces, all inspired by contemporary Arabesque design. This guide covers the project, location, units, amenities, freehold and residency benefits, and why Telal Al Qurm stands out as a compelling investment in Oman's real-estate market.

What Is Telal Al Qurm?

Telal Al Qurm is a mixed-use, award-winning development by Alargan Towell — an Omani company established in 2003 as a partnership between Alargan International Real Estate Company of Kuwait and W.J. Towell of Oman (listed on the Kuwait Stock Exchange). The project spans over 400,000 sqm and functions as a city within the city, with a 15-year development agreement that underlines its scale and long-term commitment.

In July 2024, Telal Al Qurm obtained an Integrated Tourism Complex (ITC) licence from the Ministry of Housing and the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism — officially opening full freehold ownership to both Omanis and foreigners, with a pathway to permanent residency for international investors.

Location: The Heart of Qurum — Muscat's Premier District

Telal Al Qurm enjoys an exceptional address in Qurum, nestled between Wattayah and Qurum — one of Muscat's most established, low-congestion and sought-after neighbourhoods:

•       Walking distance to Qurum's public beaches and waterfront promenade.

•       Easy access to major highways and Muscat's road network.

•       Close to shopping centres, restaurants, schools and hospitals.

•       Adjacent to Qurum Natural Park and its scenic green trails.

•       A city-centre location combining natural tranquillity with urban convenience.

This central-yet-peaceful position in one of Muscat's scarcest land areas ensures stable year-round rental demand and a proven track record of capital appreciation.

Unit Types

•       Apartments: 1,500+ units ranging from 1 to 4 bedrooms with modern Arabian-inspired interiors, suited to singles, families and investors.

•       Townhouses: 46 premium townhouses (3–4 bedrooms) across two rows of 23 units each, spanning 6,324 sqm — blending villa living with apartment convenience.

•       Serviced Apartments: 190 hotel-managed units, an excellent option for short-let rental income.

•       Hotels: Two 4-star hotels with a total of 370 keys under leading international brands.

•       Offices & Retail: Office spaces, commercial units, landscaped parks and green areas.

•       Plots: Residential and commercial land available within the development.

•       Community centre with education, entertainment and sports activities.

•       Landscaped gardens, parks and walking promenades.

•       Sports courts and health clubs.

•       A dedicated bridge connecting the project to the modern road network.

Telal Al Qurm & LEED Platinum — Oman's First

Telal Al Qurm is home to Oman's first LEED Platinum-certified homes, the highest international standard for sustainable, green building. The project has also won the Best Real Estate Developer Award four consecutive years (2016–2019), reflecting an unwavering commitment to quality, innovation and post-handover service.

Freehold Ownership & Oman Residency

Following the ITC licence granted in July 2024, Telal Al Qurm now offers official full freehold ownership to all nationalities — with rights to use, sell, lease and bequeath property under Omani law. This is a significant milestone, as Qurum is a prime established neighbourhood where freehold opportunities for foreigners were previously limited.

Freehold ownership in an ITC entitles the owner and their immediate family to apply for Oman residency linked to the property — a renewable two-year residency valid for as long as ownership continues.

Prices & Investment Value

Based on available market data, townhouses at Telal Al Qurm are priced from approximately OMR 77,000 to over OMR 200,000 depending on size, design and location within the project. These figures represent competitive value for an established, prime Qurum address.

Investors benefit from multiple supporting factors: land scarcity in Qurum, stable demand from residents and families, unique on-site amenities (aqua park, cinema, 4-star hotels) that differentiate the project, and LEED Platinum sustainability credentials that attract quality tenants and buyers.

 

Why Choose Telal Al Qurm?

•       Prime Qurum address: one of Muscat's most established, scarcest and most desirable neighbourhoods.

•       Exceptional diversity: apartments, townhouses, serviced apartments, 4-star hotels, aqua park and cinema in one development.

•       Oman's first LEED Platinum: proven sustainability that enhances value and lowers running costs.

•       Award-winning track record: Best Developer four consecutive years — quality confirmed.

•       Dual rental income: residential yield from apartments and townhouses; short-let yield from serviced apartments.
