THE CITY OF TRUE LIVABILITY PLANNED LIFE SOLUTIONS THAT MAKE FOR A HAPPY LIFE The modern city has typically been structured around the car and commerce, with little thought given to what makes people truly happy. The Villages create an entirely new and infinitely more livable model, where people are placed first, where nature is celebrated and where people come together to form a thriving and healthy community. Where once the car dominated streets, choice now prevails. Facilities are designed to be easily accessed by walking, bikes, local transit or PRTs (personal rapid transit). HOUSING CHOICE A range of housing choices - from villas to townhomes to apartments - will offer broad appeal to home buyers while attracting a diverse population. Close proximity to work, shopping and schools will create a truly integrated community, where it s possible to walk from home to all of life s needs. WORLD-CLASS EDUCATION Because lifelong learning is an important hallmark of our culture, The Villages will revolve around a centrally located K-12 private school. The school will be connected to the community hub that will house the library and media centre. These community facilities offer a range of lifelong learning opportunities. Our schools will be world-class and more affordable for all through an offset model embedded in the community service charges. GREENSPACE Nature features strongly in the plan, with an interconnected network of parks, open spaces and plazas that are structured for beauty, convenience and recreation. MEGA HEALTH CLUB A 250,000-square-foot, standalone facility offering a total club style gym experience, indoor/outdoor pools, indoor jogging track, Pilates studios, martial arts, indoor basketball, squash and youth fitness classes. The club will also offer casual dining, fine dining, business networking events, juice bars and athletic retail. Amenities include daycare, spa and an indoor/ outdoor relaxation garden. GREENHOUSE COMMUNITY FARMING At the centre of The Villages lives a unique, solarpowered urban farm, growing fresh produce and housing an indoor botanical garden. The community farm features a restaurant and open kitchen, which also offers cooking classes for children and adults.
The future is for those who dare to dream and find the courage to pursue their dreams. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai
THE CITY OF UNINTERRUPTED OPPORTUNITY REINVENTING ECONOMIC PROPSPERITY What do people want in their professional life? A place where it is easy to do business. A place where entrepreneurs are encouraged to put down roots, grow and reach their maximum potential, without being subject to taxes, tariffs or local ownership requirements. A place where employees want to live and work, clients want to visit and it is easy and comfortable to get in and out. Dubai South does all of this and more. We ve taken the idea of the Economic Zone three steps further, creating a unique program that allows SMEs located anywhere in the world to promote their businesses globally via an affiliation with Dubai South. That means you can establish a presence in Dubai South, giving you access to new business and promotional resources in the region without setting foot here. To facilitate business growth, we ve created the business park free zone of the future, strategically located between Dubai and Abu Dhabi with more than 200,000 square metres of flexible office space tailored for SMEs and large corporations. With workers coming from all over the region and the world to enjoy a livable, sustainable, prosperous and healthy community, Dubai South will be home to more than half a million jobs.
THE CITY OF SEAMLESS CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN AIR, LAND AND SEA THE CITY OF PROGRESSIVE AVIATION MULTIMODAL LOGISTICS PLATFORM FOR MAXIMUM SPEED AND EFFICIENCY Dubai South integrates the realities of global logistics into the fabric of the city, making it a dynamic and sustainable business hub for SMEs, large corporations, contract logistics, integrators, freight forwarders and agents. It is already home to multinational logistics resources such as Aramex, Panalpina, DHL and Kuehne + Nagel, among others, because it is a multimodal logistics platform providing direct access to Al Maktoum Airport, Jebel Ali Port, the major trans-emirate road networks, Etihad Rail and Dubai Metro. Businesses can take advantage of a dedicated logistics corridor connecting Jebel Ali Port and Dubai South, forming a single, custom-bonded free zone spanning an area of 200 square kilometres. Doing business here includes access to valueadded services such as light manufacturing and assembly with ready-to-occupy or built-to-suit office spaces, warehouses and distribution centres. EASIEST ACCESS BY AIR The Aviation District at Dubai World Central sits adjacent to the Al Maktoum International Airport and is in proximity to the Jebel Ali Port. The 6.7-square-kilometre district represents an integrated ecosystem serving the practical needs of the general aviation and aerospace industries. Intelligently designed to allow both airside and landside access for the seamless movement of cargo, the district offers ready-built, worldclass aviation and aerospace infrastructure to businesses in the MRO, FBO and light industrial sectors. Beyond its aviation and aerospace focus, the district also has well-defined zones for sectors such as hospitality, industry-affiliated education, R&D and mixed-use development. Over the next several years, the Al Maktoum International Airport will be expanding, to eventually enable the airport to fly more than 220 million passengers and 16 million tons of cargo each year. And an executive jet terminal will be unveiled for discerning business travelers, VIPs and other dignitaries.
