Today I wolud like to write more about one of the man-made wonders of the world - World Island of Dubai...
All Islands of the world were arranged to create our real word, including all continents. The Word Island of Dubai was created by the same company that built three islands in a shape of palm. New investment has added incredible value to Dubai economy and it contains some of most celebrated real estate in the word, not only prime places for residents, business ventures but also tourists areas.
The World consist about 300 smaller private artificial islands divided into four categories - private homes, estate homes, dream resorts, and community islands. Each island range from 250,000 to 900,000 square feet in size, with 50 to 100 meters of water between each island. The development cover an area of 9 kilometers in length and 6 kilometers in width, surrounded by an oval shaped breakwater. The only means of transportation between the islands is by marine transport or private helicopters.
Construction has begun on the 1.8 billion dollar project. It is located 4 kilometers off the shore of Jumeirah, close to the The Palm Jumeirah, between Burj Al Arab hotel and Port Rashid of Dubai. Each island has been sold to selected private developers and are pricing beginning at Dhs. 25 million (6.85 million dollar).
The Word Islands arouse interest among celebrities. On May 2007 Tommy Lee announced that he was buying the Greece Island for Pamela Anderson, his ex-wife and the mother of their two children. Lee said he chose the island because of his own Greek heritage, and he hopes Pam, the kids and he can spend time there together.The Arctic was given to Schumacher by Dubai’s crown prince as a retirement present, and has a spectacular home, beautiful beach and manicured garden. Not bad for the land of snow and ice!
So if you are interested to have famous neighborhood, you should think about moving to one of the Word Island. Maybe Poland area is still free ;)
Kiniaz have you ever been there ? They have money so they could built almost everything what they want to build.... 6 or 7 from the 10 highest buildings on the world in 2010 will be in Dubai.. (I heard so, I do not know if it is truth..;)
ReplyDeleteEven now, if I want to live in the highest place on the world, you can buy apartment in Burj Dubai building (over 800 m);) I saw it in real - it made a strong impression on me.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know if it’s true about those 6 or 7 buildings, you asked about – but even if it’s true many constructions are stopped cause the crisis…:/
Crazy and amazing. I'd love to see it with my own eyes.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how long it would take to reach the last floor is such building.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to meet Schumacher on the red light if on water roads are such lights ;p
Spending such a gigantic sum of money on 'toys', when there are so many needing in the world. Such a haughtiness and vanity.
ReplyDeleteI heared that in Dubai there is a building that is the biggest one in the world, and it has a possibility wheneevry ther will be bigger one they can build another floors. Thats amazing.
ReplyDeletevery nice, but did you hear about Clarkson's Island?
ReplyDeletes3926: I thought China is preapering to build the highest building in the world. Unfortunately I forgot the name.
ReplyDeleteI was considering buying a house there, but I removed it from the list. I don’t remember why, maybe because there can be a problem with privacy when houses are set one to another in a very small distances.
ReplyDeleteI think it`s a great project, unfortunately only for very rich people. I would like to see it someday.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day ... ;]
