UAE-based developer Meydan Sobha, a joint venture between race track developer Meydan and leading real estate company Sobha group, said work is in full swing at its District One, the first residential district in Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum City in Dubai.

Enclosed by green natural surroundings, the community presents one of the lowest-density villa and apartment developments in the heart of any international city.

District One brings together a 7-km water body,  beaches, a 14-km boardwalk, sweeping parklands and breath-taking architecture.

The Water Body at District One offers residents exclusive access to swimming, paddle boarding, and other non-motorised aquatic leisure activities. Hi-tech eco-friendly technology keeps the waters crystal clear, adding to it appeal which industry experts say will overtake golf courses to become the amenity of the future for luxury real estate developments.

Two new tunnels have also been added to the 8.4-km District One cycling and running track  to ensure the safety of all those taking advantage of the free facilities, which are equipped with 386 solar light poles and energy-efficient light at night.
