Downtown Jebel Ali reaches major infrastructure milestone

Dubai-based global real estate developer, Limitless, has announced that infrastructure work at its mixed-use Downtown Jebel Ali (DJA) project has reached a major milestone, with deep utilities work complete on half of the two-million sqm mixed-use project.

Located between Jafza and Techno Park, DJA is easily accessible from Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Limitless has already delivered The Galleries at Downtown Jebel Ali, a fully operational, rapidly expanding business and retail community featuring state-of-the-art office facilities and retail outlets. Residential units are also under construction and due for completion in 2018

The company said that sewage, storm water and water works have been completed at 50 per cent of the DJA project, with road works currently underway.

Deep utilities work is ongoing at the rest of the development, with anticipated completion this summer, it stated.

Under the $78 million contract, all infrastructural work will be finished next year.

On its progress, Limitless chairman Ali Rashid Lootah said: "Downtown Jebel Ali is taking shape, with infrastructure work progressing well. We are well on our way to connecting service to all third party plots."

"DJA’s strategic location, close to the Jebel Ali Free Zone and within easy reach of Abu Dhabi, Dubai World Central Airport, the Expo 2020 site and new attractions and theme parks, makes it a key area for growth and development," remarked Lootah. "We look forward to working with the investors who share our vision for this unique master community," he added.

DJA stretches 11km along Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road. The project has more than 300 third party plots, on which investors are building a mixture of apartments, hotels, offices and retail developments.
