Dubai Business Bay is part of the vision of His Highness HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum to make the United Arab Emirates a global commercial and business centre. Business Bay is best compared to other famous business centres such as New York's Manhattan, or Tokyo's Ginza and is aiming to be a leading centre for business and shopping. The current expected completion date for this development is 2010.
Dubai Business Bay is a freehold commercial, residential and business cluster that extends the famous Dubai Creek from Ras Al Khor to sheikh Zayed Road, and is situated on 64 million square feet of land. Thought of as a city within a city, Business Bay will feature facilities such as towers for offices and accommodation, a network of roads for easy access and exit as well as canals to add top the magnificence of the project. Business Bay will contain over 230 commercial and residential towers in total, including
• The Executive Towers (residential)
• Vision Tower (office)
• Al Manara (office)
• The Citadel (office)
Dubai Business Bay is very much a self-sustaining community. As well as the luxurious residential and office towers, with breathtaking views over the whole area, Business Bay offers various recreational complexes, such as sports complexes, health clubs and swimming pools, and other services like supermarkets, medical facilities and children's play areas. If these are not enough there is also a two-level shopping facility offering fine restaurants and cafes and a large range of shopping outlets for those who need a little retail therapy.
