Stretching for 11 kilometers 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. While providing excellent access to western Dubai and beyond, Downtown Jebel Ali's size and mix of commercial, leisure and residential buildings will make it a compelling destination in its own right.
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 pedestrians, congestion-free areas. Each quarter provides a complete range of services for the 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 and dining and entertainment facilities.
At the heart of Downtown Jebel Ali is a fundamental need for balance - between work and leisure, family and friends, familiar and new. This is why Downtown Jebel Ali offers such a rich diversity of urban space and experience. From intelligent high rises to meandering walkways lined with townhouses, from urban plazas to neighborhoods parks.
Everything in Downtown Jebel Ali has been designed with people in mind. Ingenious design protects people from the extreme heat and allows them to make full use of public spaces. A revolutionary new transport network delivers efficiency and choice, allowing people to walk in safety and comfort. Downtown Jebel Ali is committed to sustainability and making the right choices today for the generations to come tomorrow.
As important as the buildings within Downtown Jebel Ali will be the spaces between them. A network of plazas, arcades, parks and gardens will connect commercial, retail and residential areas, bringing people together as part of a genuine community.
Transportation:
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.
The movement of cars will be intelligently controlled to enhance efficiency and reduce congestion. The creation of pedestrian’s areas will deliver safer, cleaner environments for families and children. By offering a transport system of unparalleled variety and choice, Downtown Jebel Ali will minimize the familiar stresses and strains of road travel and create communities that are more connected and freer to move and explore than ever before.
Districts:
Urban District:
Energetic Urban Centers will be characterized by distinctive modern towers and grand covered spaces. These centers will represent the commercial and social hub of each zone. In addition to well designed office and residential spaces there will be a rich selection of cafes, restaurants and shops which will give each of the zones a distinct and vibrant character of its own. A combination of shaded arcades and ingenious architecture will create a comfortable, lively environment, day and night.
The Medina Districts
The Medina Districts will resonate with echoes of historic desert cities while offering every modern amenity. In these mainly mid and low rise residential neighborhoods, small courtyards and plazas will be punctuated by cafes and local shops. Cars will be kept largely to the perimeter, allowing meandering cobblestone streets and walkways to create a more intimate, family-friendly environment. Compact neighborhood parks will mark the entry to each Medina and provide yet another place for people to meet and socialize.
The Trellis Districts
The Trellis Districts will extend out from the Urban Centers and mark a distinct change in tone and density. With a blend of smaller towers and mid-rise buildings, these districts will share a strong visual identity thanks to a unique network of trellises projecting from buildings to provide shaded, pedestrian-friendly environment. These shaded interior roads with their generous sidewalks and ground floor shops will be interspersed with beautiful urban plazas and parks. Plants and water features will offer a softer, more natural environment and experience
