Business Bay Guide

Business Bay, the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashed Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, and Ruler of Dubai, is destined to be the business center of Dubai and offers both residential and commercial property. Currently under construction, Business Bay will have more than 230 buildings when completed and cover more than 64 million square feet, making it a city within the city of Dubai. It is situated along a newly dredged and extended section of Dubai Creek, from Ras Al Khor to Sheikh Zayed Road.

The first phase of Dubai's transformation began in the 1970s, when the Dubai Creek first was dredged. Since then, the Dubai government has actively pursued its goal of diversifying its economy. Traditionally based on the trade of oil and centered on the Creek, the economy of Dubai is now expanding to include tourism, service and real estate. Currently, Dubai is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world, with numerous large construction projects that are setting building-related records. For example, the Burj Dubai is the world's tallest tower, the Dubai Mall is now the world's largest shopping mall, and the Rose Tower is the world's tallest hotel. Soon to be completed is Dubailand, a Disney-style resort twice the size of any other.

Business Bay Offices

Business Bay is designed to be the UAE's global commercial and business center, much as Manhattan and Ginza are the business centers of New York and Tokyo. The government of Dubai called on some of the world's foremost consultancies for help in developing the plans for Business Bay, and furthering the UAE's vision of Dubai as a global business center. Other recent projects include Dubai's Healthcare City, Internet City and Media City, as well as the Jumeriah Beach Residence.

The Boulevard, these towers are, respectively, the 12th and 29th tallest buildings in the world.
