About

Business Bay Community

Business Bay frames panoramic vistas of Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai and the sweeping city skyline, where every angle offers a fresh, iconic perspective. Business Bay is part of the vision of Sheikh Mohammad Bin Rashed Al Maktoum, U.A.E. Vice-President, P.M, Minister of Defence and Ruler of Dubai.

The district spread over 46.9 million square feet. 22.1%of the total area is allocated to residential projects. 18.5% is assigned to commercial projects, and 59.4% is allocated to mixed operations.

Business Bay envisions the area to be Dubai's central business district, inspired by Manhattan, NYC, in the U.S.

The entire development is based around a man-made waterfront that passes along the Ras Al Khor wildlife sanctuary and extends to the coast of the Arabian Gulf, linking the iconic creek back to the sea. The multicultural residents lead a very fast-paced, cosmopolitan lifestyle.

Built on the vision of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Business Bay has grown into much more than just a business district-it's a vibrant, future-ready heart of the city. By blending easy, inclusive ways to get around with a stunning waterfront lifestyle, it has become a place where people truly want to be.
