The Business Bay is part of the vision of His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Minister of Defence, to make the UAE a global commercial and business centre.
Business Bay will be a new 'city' within the city of Dubai and will be created as a commercial and business cluster along a new extension of the famed Dubai Creek extending from Ras Al Khor to Sheikh Zayed Road.
Covering an area of 64 million square feet, the new initiative will feature facilities such as office and residential towers set in landscaped gardens interspersed with a network of roads, pathways and fascinating canals. The ambience will be designed to add to the magnificence of the project and provide a highly conducive environment and infrastructure for businesses from around the world that wish to establish their local, regional and international headquarters in Business Bay.
Dubai's Business Bay will be similar in nature to Manhattan or Ginza, which are the business centres for the cities of New York and Tokyo.
In the past, the prosperity of Dubai depended heavily on the Creek. The first phase of Dubai's incredible transformation into a regional hub was begun with the dredging of the Creek in the 1970s. It is expected that the new extension of the Creek will mark Dubai's entry into the global business cities' league.
