When you think of Dubai’s image, most people would see it as a luxurious holiday destination.  Environmentally conscious? Not so much.  This could all be about to change though as new plans under development within several well-known projects, and new initiatives to be applied to all new builds, will make the Emirate a more eco-friendly place to live and visit.

There are several projects in the pipeline right now, and several of the large family communities are being promoted as more environmentally friendly through more greenery.  Jumeirah Park and Jumeirah Village are two major developments by Nakheel, Dubai’s largest developer that will promote a more environmentally conscious way of life, with above average areas of plantation and greenery to reduce noise pollution, and recycling measures in place.  In fact, following on from this early effort, a new freehold community called the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Gardens, located conveniently near the Emirates Road and Al Khail Road, which will mix a high degree of greenery and waterways to promote the preservation of the Emirates’ beautiful scenery.  This is a bold and necessary move for the government, as the large amounts of construction since the start of the property boom have been viewed by many as damaging to the beauty of Dubai, and why it appeals to so many people as a great place to live.

The Dubai International Media Production Zone is another project that will promote a greener image for Dubai real estate.  While this development is specialised towards the Media sector, there is a selection of freehold apartments available within IMPZ that strongly promote eco-friendly living, right by the waterfront.  If you are concerned about the environment, and want to do your part to own a property that’s more aware of preserving Dubai, then ask about the environment impacts of projects you are interested in.  For eco-friendly commercial space too, there are a number of towers within Business Bay that will meet the criteria for saving the environment.  Iris Bay, a unique building shaped like an eye will use shutters to keep the building cool without the excessive use of air conditioning, while tall towers such as Lighthouse Tower and even the Burj Dubai tower will be cooled using melted ice waters from specific plants, to reduce the need for polluting air conditioners

With the brief by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum to make all new property built more environmentally viable, this has led to interesting and innovative projects such as the Time Residence, which is set to be a rotating tower that will generate its own power through turning.

Dubai is the second largest emirate in the UAE, but when its comes to property, Dubai is the leader throughout the UAE and the Middle East, with Dubai property held in high regard around the globe for its innovative and ground braking real estate developments. Dubai property came from almost nowhere and almost overnight became a world wide sensation. With projects such as the Palm Jumeirah and The Burj Dubai, the Dubai property market has firmly established itself as somewhere anything is possible, and with a whole range of projects still under construction or still to come, Dubai property looks only to continue to raise the benchmark ever higher.

It all kicked off with Emaar’s Dubai Marina project and Nakheel’s Palm Jumeirah. These two projects alone brought a huge amount of media attention to Dubai, which had yet to see any really substantial development before this time. These two freehold projects had such a lasting effect due to the fact both offered some great homes in surroundings that really stood out. The Palm Jumeirah, the largest land reclamation project to ever be attempted was always going to attract attention. After all a Palm shaped island based out in the Arabian Gulf isn’t exactly your typical home! The Dubai Marina is one of the largest waterfront projects in the world, offering a huge range of property for all types of buyers.

With these projects Dubai property took on another persona, and all projects since have had to offer that little something extra in order to really make a mark on the Dubai freehold property market. And now it only takes a quick look at the Dubai property developments being offered to see that this really is the place to buy for those wanting a home with a difference. Dubai now offers not just the one Palm project, but with another two Palm developments on the way, with the Palm trilogy your desires to live out at sea should be well and truly catered for! And then there are the likes of Dubai Sports City, Emirates Hills, The Meadows and Dubai Business Bay, all offering a wide variety of differing Dubai property. With the likes of Dubailand and The Dubai Waterfront all yet to come, Dubai property is going to remain on the world real estate radar for some time to come!
