The Dubai Waterfront is proposed to become the largest waterfront and largest man-made development in the world, and will occupy the last remaining coastal waterfront of the Emirate. The 81 million square meter beachfront will be a mixed-use destination encompassing over 250 master planned communities and offerings. It will consist of 440 square kilometers of water and land developments, an area seven times the size of Manhattan, New York and is expected to house 400,000 people.
