Dubai Properties leads the way by creating the largest green wall in the region
In a bid to promote sustainable living, Dubai Properties has officially unveiled the Middle East region’s largest living green wall at Dubai Wharf, located in the heart of Culture Village overlooking the historic Dubai Creek. Extending 210 metres in length and rising six metres high, the impressive vertical garden spans 1,260 square metres and features a leaf canopy area equivalent to around 200 trees, capable of offsetting an estimated 4.4 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually.
Building upon the scientifically proven benefits of greenery within communities, such as ensuring a calming effect and encouraging an outdoor lifestyle, the master developer sought to create a microclimate that enhances the aesthetic appeal of Dubai Wharf in addition to the well-being of its visitors and residents. The stunning green wall provides a perfect backdrop for pictures and invites nature lovers for an idyllic stroll along the shoreline of the Dubai Creek.
