Thumbs up Dubai: The Waterfront

The Waterfront, Dubai

I just posted the picture below for the background.


Got this from bizzybonita:

Location


YouTube - Dubai Waterfront Project


Dubai Waterfront is strategically positioned between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with direct access to Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road – the main artery of the Dubai road network – the Jebel Ali Free Zone and port, one of the world’s largest ports and the new Jebel Ali International Airport, which will be a major catalyst of development in the area. The development’s location ensures it is easily accessible on a local, regional and international basis.



Dubai Waterfront, the largest waterfront development in the world, will provide a world-class destination to nearly 1 million residents. It is located on the last remaining coastline in Dubai offering investors a lifetime investment opportunity and an extraordinary experience to residents and visitors alike. Dubai Waterfront plans to be the most sought after destination in the world and a centre of international culture, entertainment, education and business.



A world-class destination at the heart of the new Dubai, this 1 billion square feet beachfront mixed-use destination will encompass best of breed master planned communities consists of the Madinat Al Arab and The Palm Jebel Ali. It will comprise a balanced mix of residential, retail, hotel, office and industrial offerings, in addition to common areas that will be reserved for educational, cultural, health and recreational purposes.



Location: Jebel Ali, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Project Type:
An unprecedented 81 million metres-squared mixed-use development of commercial, residential, resort and amenity areas offering 250 master-planned communities

Phases:
First phase of Dubai Waterfront is Madinat Al Arab; the downtown centre of the development

Completion Dates: TBA

Sales Centre: Nakheel Sales Centre, Al Sufouh Road, Dubai UAE

Project Features:

Dubai Waterfront has been carefully crafted and developed by an international consortium of the world’s best architects, planners and urban developers assembled by Nakheel in 2004, whose goal was to create a destination never before seen in Dubai, or the world. The development is destined to become an international landmark. Unique concepts like Dubai Waterfront will help Dubai in setting the standards in property development and providing futuristic lifestyles to people.



It is an unprecedented advancement and a world-class addition to Dubai, one that will create long-term growth and investment for the UAE and the wider region. This new city for Dubai is projected to become a destination that will be acknowledged world over for its uniqueness and architectural quality. Dubai Waterfront forms the first phase of a larger effort — the Arabian Canal — a 80 km development envisioned by His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed – Vice President and Prime Minster of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. It will serve as primary entrance to the Arabian Canal, which ultimately will provide long-term waterfront investment opportunities.
