Envisioned by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashed Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister, Minister of Defence and the ruler of Dubai as a 'new city', Business Bay includes more than 240 residential and commercial developments, landscaped gardens and a network of canals, pathways and roads.

The project is located along a new extension of Dubai Creek - from Ras Al Khor to the arterial Sheikh Zayed Road - and is slated to become the region's new business hub and freehold city. Designed on the lines of Manhattan (New York) and Ginza (Tokyo), Business Bay also embodies the important role played by the Dubai Creek in shaping Dubai's trading history from a fishing port to a key international shipping hub today.
