Nakheel, one of the world’s larg-est privately-held property develop-ers, has announced two major new projects at their initial concept stages - The Universe, a reclaimed island development which draws its inspi-ration from the wonders of the solar system, with islands in the shape of the sun, the moon and the planets; and the redevelopment of Port Rashid, with Nakheel announcing its plans to preserve and expand the area which has played a central role in Dubai’s development.

The Universe will take shape off Dubai’s coastline close to The Palm Jumeirah, inshore from The World. The Universe is a further indication of Nakheel’s pioneering approach to waterfront developments and will provide a stunning new addition to Nakheel’s groundbreaking and iconic coastal developments The Palm tril-ogy, The World and Waterfront. The development will create new luxury living space, commercial opportuni-ties and additional coastline – play-ing a role in the continued economic growth and success of Dubai as a global business and tourism destina-tion.

The Universe was being launched at its initial concept stage and will evolve following engineering, feasi-bility and environmental studies that are already underway. Once these studies have been conducted, a full masterplan will be created. The Uni-verse will be a flagship development of Nakheel’s recently launched sus-tainability initiative Blue Communi-ties, reflecting a firm commitment to creating a truly sustainable commu-nity. Blue Communities seeks to fund research and development activity, and promote active engagement with international experts on the issues of sustainable development, construc-

tion, management and gover-nance of coastal communities around the world.

"With the completion of phase one of The World and the successful progress of the Palm Trilogy and Waterfront, we are delighted to announce the con-cept of The Universe to reveal Sheikh Mohammed’s vision for the new era of waterfront devel-opment. Waterfront living is an aspiration for many; a growing number of people from the re-gion and from around the world would prefer to live, work, and entertain in coastal communi-ties and that is why coastal com-munities are among the fastest growing communities around the globe.

Dubai has always been a city that looks forward and the planned development of The Universe will sat-isfy the future demand for further waterfront invest-ment opportunities and development in Dubai. The real estate market is driven by the dynamics of demand and supply - The Universe will be a phased project that will evolve to meet future demand. "

The second concept project is the re-development of Port Rashid.

Given the change in the mar-ket, port dynamics, and the rise of Jebel Ali Port,

“Nakheel takes great pride in Dubai’s heri-tage – as well as in building its future. The redevelopment of Port Rashid will be sym-pathetic and pay homage to the maritime history that helped shape the success of the emirate. The development will include a maritime museum, and we will ensure that the importance of the site and the people who have worked and lived there since its cre-ation are preserved for future generations.”

The second concept project is the redevelopment of Port Rashid. Given the change in the market, port dynamics, and the rise of Jebel Ali Port, port operations are moving from Port Rashid to Jebel Ali Port. Nakheel is committed to preserving and expanding this site of historic importance with a new urban water-front that will create real estate, gen-erate jobs, attract tourism and help drive economic growth for Dubai and the UAE.

Redevelopment plans are un-derway, which involve the expan-sion of the existing Port Rashid land area through land reclamation. The proposed development is a vibrant mixed use urban waterfront set in Port Rashid’s strategic waterside location and proximity adjacent to Bur Dubai. The estimated residential population will be 200,000.

Port Rashid will continue to operate as the main port in Dubai for tourist and cruise vessels and this will be integral to the redevel-opment. The decommissioning of the general and non-containerised cargo handling operations has been planned for some time and are being transferred to Jebel Ali as a result of increased customer demand for its state-of the art facilities.

Since the UAE — a nation of 7 emirates — was established in 1971, Dubai has seen phenomenal growth. Inspired by the vision and guidance of H.H Sheikh Moham-med Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai and UAE Vice President, this emirate embarked on a journey which transformed it from a trad-ing post in the Arabian Gulf to the thriving metropolis that it is today.Surrounded by vast dunes of rolling sand lapping at the foothills of the arid Hajar mountains to the east, Dubai has come of age as the ideal tourist destination. Often known as ‘The City of Gold’ or ‘The City of Lights’, these days it seems like it could be known as ‘The City of Re-cords’. With the first 7-star hotel, the largest man-made islands and the richest horse race in the world. Dubai is also breaking records for tourism growth. Between 2001 and 2004 the yearly number of visitors to Dubai has grown by almost fifty per cent to over 6 million.

The luxury lifestyle that Dubai offers is perfect for the discern-ing tourist; the city boasts over 30 five-star hotels, and has more hotel rooms than Miami Beach. A wealth of first class restaurants conjure up a world of tastes from around the globe. In fact, the only difficulty you’ll have in terms of food is mak-ing your mind up what to choose. From Japanese to Lebanese, the va-riety of restaurants in Dubai is the best in the region.

If you enjoy sports, then Dubai is leading the way in the Middle East. Prime sporting events held annually include the Dubai World Cup (the richest horse race in the world), International Power Boat Racing, Dubai Desert Classic Golf Tournament, Dubai Tennis Open and the Dubai Rugby Sevens. Dubai also offers a great range of choices for the active visitor: a selection of some of the world’s best golf courses, water sports, and unique opportunities for desert ad-ventures.

If you like to shop then Dubai is a dream; if you are not a shopa-holic, then prepare to become one. Whether it’s refined boutiques or fascinating souks, grandiose shop-ping malls or great value indepen-dent outlets, there is something for everyone. Retail is such an impor-tant part of Dubai that there are two festivals a year to celebrate shopping: the hugely successful Dubai Shopping Festival (January - February) now attracts more than 3 million visitors, while the Dubai Summer Surprises has been un-leashing summers of fun and learn-ing since the summer of 1998.
