The brief
Wedyan – The Canal is planned as a mixed-use tower of 46 storeys in Business Bay, beside the Dubai Canal. It is the first project in the Al Ghurair Collection. The design takes its cues from the valleys, mountains and desert dunes of the region, and the tower is drawn with a soft, flowing outline rather than hard edges.
The apartments are planned with three, four or five bedrooms. At the top of the range, two penthouses are each specified to occupy a whole floor, and a sky villa is planned across three storeys.
Each residence is designed with two kitchens: a show kitchen to entertain in and a service kitchen that staff reach through a separate entrance. Terraces are planned for privacy, and master bedrooms are specified to face the morning sun. A number of units are specified with a private pavilion modelled on the Japanese tea house, a flexible room that can serve as a lounge, a place for meditation or a recording studio.
The three basement levels are planned for parking. The tower is also specified with a car stacker in which temperature and humidity are controlled, intended for storing classic cars and supercars.
Most of the shared facilities are planned for level 3, named The Shore, which is to have swimming pools, dining lounges, a private cinema, a games room and a golf simulator.
Level 2 is planned as the fitness floor. Its specification covers cardio and strength training in a central fitness hub, a studio for reformer pilates and yoga, a dedicated spin studio and a padel court.
A wellness complex called The Cave is planned around an indoor lagoon, with a spa for hydrotherapy, a heated salt room, rooms for holistic treatments, an ice bath, a deck for refreshments and a lounge.
The wider amenity list for the project also names a majlis, a cigar room, meeting rooms, an area for meditation, social activity areas, cycle paths, restaurants, a shopping centre and terraces.
In depth
The plot was first set aside for a different scheme, Starhill Towers & Gallery, which was later cancelled.
Business Bay sits about 1.5 km from Burj Khalifa on the Dubai Canal, the 100-metre-wide waterway that runs from Dubai Creek at Deira out to the sea at Jumeirah. Freehold projects in the district total some 64 million square feet, spread over nine sub-communities. The district mixes office and residential towers with landscaped gardens, roads and waterways. Water bus and private boat stations line both banks of the canal, and Business Bay Metro station serves the district. The district connects to both of the highways that run the length of Dubai, Al Khail Road and Sheikh Zayed Road.
Around the site, the nearest green space is Business Bay West Park, within 0.3 km, with the community's Action Park at 0.5 km and Business Bay East Park at 0.8 km. At 0.9 km is Bay Avenue Mall & Park; at 1.9 km both the Dubai Mall fountains and Downtown Dubai. City Walk and District One are each 2.4 km away, and DIFC 3.8 km. The nearest hotels include the Anantara in Downtown Dubai at 0.3 km and the JW Marriott Marquis at 0.6 km.
The closest schools are 1.2 km away, in Al Quoz and Al Safa. Fourteen schools in the surrounding area hold one of the two top government inspection ratings; Horizon English School Dubai is among those rated 'Outstanding', as is Jumeirah English Speaking School.
Al Ghurair Investment is developing Wedyan through a subsidiary that carries the Wedyan name. Brewer Smith Brewer Group is appointed as architectural consultant, and also serves as the lead consultant and the structural engineer. Turner & Townsend has the project management role, and the London firm Gustafson Porter + Bowman is responsible for the landscaping and terraces.
