Dubai Marina
Dubai Marina (Arabic: مرسى دبي) is a district in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Dubai Marina is an artificial canal city, built along a two mile (3 km) stretch of Persian Gulf shoreline. When the entire development is complete, it will accommodate more than 120,000 people in residential towers and villas. It is located on Interchange 5 between Jebel Ali Port and the area which hosts Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, and the American University in Dubai. The first phase of this project has been completed. Dubai Marina was inspired by the Concord Pacific Place development along False Creek in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Dubai Marina is home to an estimated 120,000 residents and is part of the so-called “new Dubai”. The area, which features high-rise towers with some exceeding 400-meters in height, is built around an artificial canal and was developed by Emaar Properties, developer of the world’s tallest building – Burj Khalifa. It is one of the most expatriate-populated areas in Dubai today.
People looking to move into Dubai Marina apartments can choose to rent or buy property from a large number of freehold options. Most buildings offer a panoramic view of the canal while others face the sea. Prices vary depending on the view as well as access to the metro station and the highway.
The beach is a 5-minute drive away and can be easily reached by foot. A large development, known as Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), is also part of the Dubai Marina area and comprises of 1.7-kilometers of high-rise buildings overlooking the sea. JBR includes 40 towers and is estimated to house 15,000 people. The Walk at JBR is the term used to describe the 1.7-km stretch of retail space that occupies the ground and plaza levels of the development. Beachgoers and families living in the area often stop by The Walk for a stroll or a meal. The 330-plus retail outlets include F&B, gyms, salons, furniture and clothing shops, bank branches, and many more.
