The story of this prolific emirate began at the water’s edge. Dubai Creek was once upon a time the city’s original commercial and cultural artery. That legacy now underpins one of Emaar’s most visionary undertakings: Dubai Creek Harbour.
A masterplan designed to reconnect and ground the city with its historic roots while building an entirely new chapter of urban life around them.
Positioned just three kilometres from the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary and within a ten-minute reach of Downtown Dubai, the site enjoys direct views of the Burj Khalifa across the water, tying Dubai’s newest major urban node to its most iconic one.
The masterplan is designed on four founding principles: strong urban relationships, nodes of activity connecting neighbourhoods, a public open space strategy linking all districts and a robust road structure ensuring clear arrival and accessibility.
The masterplan scale is considerable: 5.65 million square metres of land translating into residential gross floor area of more than 9.1 million square metres. It comprises of sprawling districts including Creek Island, Creek Beach, the Bridges District and Greengate. While some are already thriving and others are under construction, yet about 70 per cent of the masterplan area remains to be developed, making it one of the largest active real-estate investment opportunities left in the emirate.
Once complete, the masterplan in its entirety is expected to house over 200,000 residents across and 75,500 homes. It also boasts eight hotels, seven schools, 14 nurseries, 11 mosques and 27 healthcare facilities making it a holistic residential realm.
