Location: Business Bay
Business Bay is a freehold district on the Dubai Canal, the waterway that runs from Deira, where it leaves Dubai Creek, to the sea at Jumeirah Beach. Its master developer is Dubai Properties Group, and it lies about 1.5 km from Burj Khalifa. The district takes in 64 million sq ft of freehold projects: towers for offices and for residents, landscaped gardens, roads and waterways. Since the 2008 downturn, residential buildings have taken a larger share of the district compared with commercial ones.
Al Habtoor City, which fronts Sheikh Zayed Road, was the first major scheme on the canal; it covers 10 million sq ft and pairs three residential towers with three hotels carrying five-star ratings. Bay Square and Bay Avenue Mall & Park are completed sub-communities within the district.

Getting around
Two highways run the full length of Dubai, Al Khail Road and Sheikh Zayed Road, and Business Bay connects to each. Work on phase 2 of Business Bay's Parallel Roads Improvement Project finished in June 2018: it widened the western parallel roads between Al Meydan Street and Financial Street from three lanes to four in each direction and added service roads along most of the route. The RTA has also converted key streets in the district into dual carriageways and added lanes at busy junctions.
Business Bay Metro station serves the district by rail. The canal itself is 100 metres wide, and landing stations on both banks serve private boats and water buses, linking Business Bay by water with Dubai Creek, Jumeirah, Al Wasl and Sheikh Zayed Road.
