Business Bay

Business Bay will be Dubai’s thriving Central Business District and the region’s business capital. It will be a free­hold city with liberal investment regulations and an advanced infrastructure. It will also be home to a valuable network of respected financial institutions and prominent international companies.

The heart of this business capital is the creek extension, which links the creek’s historical significance with Dubai’s current comm­ercial rise. The 9.5 km of the extended 13 km Dubai Creek will run through Business Bay providing spectacular views for residents and commercial tenants alike. It is also in close proximity to Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai’s business corridor.
