The district Dubai built to be its central business district and then filled with apartments. Our own office is here, so this is the one guide where “we live here” is literally true.

Dubai,area by area.
We sell in ten communities often enough to write about them honestly, including the parts a masterplan render leaves out.
02 / Where we work most
The guidespeople read first.
Downtown Dubai
Two square kilometres containing the tallest building in the world and about 35,000 people trying to get home at once. Service charges decide everything here.
3 homes1 development
Creek Harbour
A masterplan being lived in before it is finished. The delivered part is settled and quiet; the rest is scaffolding, and that is the whole proposition.
5 homes3 developments
Dubai Hills Estate
What Dubai builds when it has learned from itself: a golf community with a mall, two schools, a hospital and a park inside the boundary, all of them actually built.
3 homes1 development
Dubai Marina
Two adjacent places that trade as one market and should be understood as two. Marina is where you buy liquidity; Beachfront is where you buy scarcity.

Emirates Living
The closest Dubai gets to a suburb that has had time to settle. Mature trees, established lakes, twenty-year-old plumbing, and a renovation market that has become the community’s real economy.
