Grand designs for Chinatown
Emaar will honour Chinese expatriates in the UAE + bolster business with China.
Emaar will develop the Middle East’s largest Chinatown within the retail district of Dubai Creek Harbour, its six-square-kilometre mega-development, only 10 minutes from the Dubai International Airport and the iconic Burj Khalifa. The retail precinct will occupy a central location within Dubai Creek Harbour – a destination which will be home to the world’s new icon, Dubai Creek Tower. The company also announced that it will open three dedicated pavilions in China – Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, all cities served by direct daily flights to Dubai on Emirates Airline. Finally, they will expand its premium luxury hotel and serviced residences brand, Address Hotels + Resorts, to China.
