Dubai's dream harbour revealed
From "FOH News" on 19 August 2008
The launch of Dream Harbour took place last night at the Madinat Jumeirah with a variety of celebrities in attendance including international singer songwriter Enrique Iglesias, Lebanese songstress Elissa, Canadian-Indian R&B singer Raghav and ex-international footballer Ian Wright as MC.
Dream Harbour is the first major launch for Desert Dream, which set up a developer division in Dubai in 2002. Dream Harbour will provide residents with one, two, three, four bedroom, mixed single level and duplex options, three Souk style shopping galleries and architecture in keeping with the local culture, including mosaic facades and historical arches. The rooftop has panoramic views of Waterfront and offers two swimming pools, a sauna and steam room.
The development also aims to achieve LEED (Leadership in Environmental Design Green Building Rating System) accreditation in the near future.
"As we embark on the first of many launches in this region we are looking to the future with excitement," said M Khan, chairman and CEO of Desert Dream. "It is our hope that, with the developments that we are bringing to Dubai, we can in some small way build on His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai's vision for the future of this city."
Located on the western shores of Dubai, Waterfront will transform 1.4 billion sqft of empty desert and sea into an international community for an estimated population of 1.5 million people that is twice the size of Hong Kong Island. Waterfront is being developed on the last 15km of
natural coastline in Dubai and will provide more than 70km of coastline in total, including the development of 23% of the Arabian Canal.
