Dubai: Sama Dubai, the international real estate investment and development arm of Dubai Holding, on Sunday unveiled the seven components of The Lagoons - a 70 million square foot creekside destination in Dubai.
"Set amongst a lush, green waterfront, The Lagoons districts will define a city within a city, providing the highest possible quality of life within a true metropolitan environment surrounded by tranquil waters and open spaces," an e-mailed company statement said yesterday.
"Al Dana, Al Sedaifa, Al Jiwin, Al Naama, Al Lulu, Al Hassabi and Dubai Opera House comprise the seven districts that will combine residential units, and corporate and commercial facilities, juxtaposed with retail, leisure and cultural avenues in an environmentally friendly setting."
Positioned as the business heartland of Dubai, Al Dana will be The Lagoons' commercial nerve centre, offering a business environment for blue chip businesses and multinational corporations. The architectural landmark Dubai Towers-Dubai will be a prominent landmark of this district, anchoring as an iconic and sculptural presence in the city's skyline.
Abdul Salam Al Merri, general manager of The Lagoons, said: "Each district will contain distinct elements that will shape 'The Lagoons' as a mixed use community offering an elite lifestyle within the seven landscaped and interlinked islands, representing a unique investment proposition to all end users."
Al Dana will offer premium apartment space and world class hospitality chains, serviced by a first rate transportation system that includes trams, people movers, travelators, water ferries, and Dubai Metro.
Al Sedaifa will be a shopping destination offering views of the city while Al Jiwin will epitomise the ambience of a bazaar, where residents and visitors can spend quiet moments, enjoy a cup of coffee or browse the boutiques and shops amidst parks, plazas and piazzas along the water's edge.
Al Naama will offer a place of relaxation. This district will serve as a sanctuary for the body and mind with health clubs and spas for residents and visitors seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Al Lulu will reflect incomparable close-to-nature luxury for those who value privacy and tranquility. This prestigious location will offer stunning luxury homes and spectacular views of the iconic Opera House across Dubai Creek.
Al Hassabi will offer a perfect place for relaxed living with large parklands, walkways and bicycle tracks running alongside winding waterways. The planetarium and amphitheatre within this district will provide third generation acoustics for world class performances.
The Lagoons will also be home to the Dubai Opera House, which forms the seventh district. Designed by an internationally acclaimed architect, the building will play host to acclaimed performers.
