Stretching for 11 kilometres beside Sheikh Zayed Road and covering over 200 hectares, Downtown Jebel Ali will be at the heart of the most dynamic and strategically significant region of Dubai. Located between the Jebel Ali Free Zone Area and Techno Park with their wealth of commercial, employment and educational opportunities, Downtown Jebel Ali will also offer easy access to Dubai Waterfront, the Port of Dubai and the new International Airport.
Nowhere else in the region will offer a transport system as rich, convenient or intelligent as Downtown Jebel Ali. Four new freeway intersections will facilitate easy access by car, and centrally located in each of the four zones will be a Dubai Metro station. While the Metro will carry people effortlessly between each zone and other parts of Dubai, a state of the art internal people mover system will provide an environmentally-friendly, practical and comfortable way of moving throughout Downtown Jebel Ali.
With more than 300 buildings, Downtown Jebel Ali will consist of four quarters – East Quarter, East Central, West Central and West Quarter. Each will have a full range of transport options for easy access to and from the development. Its clever design includes ample space in between buildings, with pedestrianised, congestion-free areas. Each quarter provides a complete range of services for businesses, residents and retailers who will make Downtown Jebel Ali their home. And each one has three individual districts – the Urban Centre, the Trellis and Medina Districts, creating a vibrant blend of business, residential, shopping, dining and entertainment facilities.
Development of Downtown Jebel Ali is well underway and the first new commercial buildings will be completed by mid 2007.
