Positioned on the Dubai Water Canal and among the last true canal-front opportunities in Business Bay, the corner site offers an ideal platform for a mixed-use project and premium retail.

It opens directly onto the canal boardwalk for effortless walking and cycling, with swift links to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road. Looking ahead, planned stations on the Zabeel Track, Gold Line, and Express Line within roughly 500 metres will further strengthen connectivity.
