Described as “The world’s largest waterfront development in the world’s fastest growing city”, Dubai Waterfront is an extraordinary offering on an inconceivable scale.
Dubai Waterfront – The Dream
Slated to be larger than Manhattan and offering investors more than 250 planned communities, Dubai Waterfront is made up of a conglomerate of islands and canals packed with luxury homes and hotels. This unprecedented real estate development will transform 1.4 billion square feet of arid desert into an international community of approximately 1.5 million people. It is an ambitious project by all means, and one that will extend Dubai’s coastline by a staggering 800 km, which in itself is 12 times the length of Dubai’s current coastline.
The sheer scale of this real estate development has already earned it a place in history as the largest man-made real estate development in the world.
Dubai Waterfront is the successful outcome of two years of rigorous feasibility studies and meticulous working sessions by a world-renowned consortium of engineers, architects, consultants, planners and urban planners.
Dubai Waterfront: The Master Plan
Dubai Waterfront is designed as a series of ten mixed-use zones, each designated for a different purpose ranging from commercial and retail spaces to schools and residential and recreational areas. It will consist of 10 km of canal, 7.5 miles or 12 km of natural beach and a 2 km wide port.
This colossal real estate development will encompass a new downtown area, anchored by Al Burj, one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world; exclusive luxury hotels and resorts; an underwater hotel: The Hydropolis, and a wide range of shopping malls, cultural arenas and entertainment venues.
In addition to high-end commercial and residential properties, the development will also offer a wide range of affordable housing options and a variety of accommodation for Dubai’s working community. All of these come complete with a wide range of state-of-the-art amenities and services.
In addition, the Waterfront project is also committed to establishing 5 square kilometers of coral reefs and building multiple waterways and highways.
Dubai Waterfront: Minimizing ecological impact
Minimizing ecological impact is a primary concern and this can be seen in every detail of the city’s construction, design and operation. Resource efficiency combined with social equity and economic prosperity are the foundations on which Waterfront has been designed.
Water and energy conservation goals have been achieved through an ingenious integration of utilities into purpose-built dedicated utility centers where the various process streams are interconnected and waste is converted into energy, which is then fed to the city. .
Dubai Waterfront: The Location
Located on the west coast of Dubai, with Dubai Mall to the east and Abu Dhabi to the west, Waterfront is in close proximity to major international commercial and industrial hubs, the Jebel Ali Free Zone, World Central Airport and the Port of Dubai. Jebel Ali. . Its strategic location makes it easily accessible for local, regional and international trade purposes.
Dubai waterfront: the future
Right now, just a vacant beach filled with cranes, but when it’s complete, Dubai Waterfront will be a self-contained, self-sufficient community that’s larger than Manhattan and capable of housing 700,000 people.
Will it, like other real estate developments in Dubai, be visible from space? Promise to be. One thing is for sure, the Dubai Waterfront real estate development is set to claim a place among the other famous places in the world.
