“Business Bay is emerging as the new commercial hub, and once fully developed, it will transform Dubai’s city center into a bustling downtown area. We have already completed one of our major projects, Bayz, in this vibrant district. The acquisition of this land plot further reinforces Business Bay as a thriving urban center where people can live, work, and conduct business in close proximity to the iconic Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.”
