Leading global developer Emaar has announced that its 6-sq-km mega-development Dubai Creek Harbour, which is nearly twice the size of Downtown Dubai, will welcome its first residents early next year.

A vibrant new community will take shape in a trend-setting Riviera-style neighbourhood as the first residences in Creek Island Dubai, the premier district in Dubai Creek Harbour, are being readied for hand-over. 

Creek Island Dubai, a one-of-a-kind waterfront destination, will bring lavish island living to over 33,500 residents.

The first homes to be delivered in Creek Island Dubai are in Dubai Creek Residences, a six-tower residential development with only 872 residences. In fact, the very-first residential launch in the master-development, Dubai Creek Residences captures the true essence of a vibrant harbour and the Creek Marina lifestyle, and is nestled between the yacht club, pools, a world-class marina and a boulevard glowing with activity.

All six towers offer panoramic views over Dubai Creek Harbour and Downtown Dubai on the opposite side of the Dubai Creek. Nearly 90 per cent of the construction has been completed for handover in the first quarter of 2019.

Work on all supporting infrastructure is progressing as per schedule with easy access from the Ras Al Khor thoroughfare already in place.

Creek Island Dubai will also be connected to the mainland by three bridges assuring seamless connectivity and mobility.

Meanwhile, work on the other residential developments launched in Creek Island Dubai is progressing as per schedule. These include Creekside 18, with 500 apartments, scheduled for completion in the first half of 2020, with over 40 per cent of the construction completed, said the Dubai developer.

Harbour Views with 762 apartments, also to be handed over in the first half of 2020, is over 36 per cent completed, while nearly 20 per cent construction has been completed on Creek Horizon, featuring 556 apartments due for handover in mid-2020. The Cove, a low-rise waterfront sanctuary, with 276 apartments, is to be delivered in the first half of 2020, it stated.

Other upcoming residential developments in Creek Island Dubai are Creek Gate (490 apartments); Creek Rise (543 apartments) and Harbour Gate (505 homes), where construction work is progressing with about 15 per cent work already completed and on track for 2020 handover.

There is significant progress in the construction of the Dubai Creek Tower too. In May this year, the concrete placement for the tower’s pile cap was completed two months ahead of schedule, Emaar stated.
