Creating a new destination
Marsa Meydan in Jebel Ali will cover 17 million square feet. The townhouses and villas will take 24-36 months to build, while the dredging of the canal would take about 18-24 months. Future features will include a boulevard and a centralised retail and F&B zone. The entire project could take about seven years to build. The first tenders will be floated early next year.
The marina component will be climate-controlled, and will be circled by 20-30 storey buildings. “Most likely, these will be built by us to control the design and the marina itself,” said Mohammad Al Khayat at Meydan. “We will have potential for other developers to buy land elsewhere in Marsa.”
