With all the buildings coming up in Dubai, land availability is becoming scarce. So, the Dubai land department is actually helping the land process quite a bit. This land department is supposed to take care of all the land transactions as well as the scarcity of land issue.
The Dubai land department allows the addition of land. For example, the combination of multiple pieces of land is called addition. Given the current trend in land usage, land addition is the only way to go about doing things. Otherwise there is no way that bigger buildings will come up. The LD or the Land Department of Dubai takes care of this business.
Since it was established in the year 1960, the Land Department has been busy taking care of all the land acquisitions as well as all sorts of land issues. The Land department evaluates the land values. The UAE or rather the Dubai Land department helped various folks with the land acquisitions and provided valuable advice regarding land transactions.
The Land department of Dubai gathered a whole bunch of data regarding land acquisition as well as land maintenance. The Land Department keeps track of the top 20 communities of the area. If you go to the website of the Dubai land department, you will find Daily transactions, monthly transactions, fees, schedules and various services related to the Dubai land.
Being one of the seven Emirates in the UAE, Dubai is actually a great location for buying land. This is probably one of the richest places in the world. So, it gives you all the more reason to buy land or rather acquire land in Dubai.
Dubai in 1990
The same street in 2003
Last year
Dubai is said to currently have 15-25% of all the world's cranes.
The Dubai Waterfront. When completed it will become the largest waterfront development in the world.
All of this was built in the last 5 years, including that island that looks like a palm tree
The Palm Islands in Dubai. New Dutch dredging technology was used to create these massive man made islands. They are the largest artificia l islands in the world and can be seen from space. Three of these Palms will be made with the last one being the largest of them all.
Upon completion, the resort will have 2,000 villas, 40 luxury hotels, shopping centers, movie theaters, and many other facilities. It is expected to support a population of approximately 500,000 people. It is advertised as being visible from the moon
The World Islands. 300 artificially created islands in the shape of the world. Each island will
have an estimated cost of $25-30 million.
The Burj al-Arab hotel in Dubai. The worlds tallest hotel. Considered the only
'7 star' hotel and the most luxurious hotel in the world. It stands on an artificial
island in the sea.
Hydropolis, the world's first under water hotel. Entirely built in Germany and then assembled in Dubai, it is scheduled to be completed by 2009 after many delays.
The Burj Dubai. Construction began in 2005 and is expected to be complete by 2008. At an estimated height of over 800 meters, it will easily be world's tallest building when finished. It will be almost 40% taller than the the current tallest building, the Yaipei 101.
This is what downtown Dubai will look like around 2008-2009. More than 140 stories of the Burj
Dubai have already been completed. It is already the worlds tallest man made structure and it is still not scheduled to be completed for at least another year.
The Al Burj. This will be the centerpiece of the Dubai Waterfront. Once completed it
will take over the title of the tallest structure in the world from the Burj Dubai
Recently it was announced that the final height of this tower will be 1200 meters.
That would make it more than 30% taller than the Burj Dubai and three times as tall as
the Empire State Building
The Burj al Alam, or The World Tower. Upon completion it will rank as the world's highest
hotel. It is expected to be finished by 2009. At 480 meters it will only be 28 meters shorter
than theTaipei 101
The Trump International Hotel & Tower, which will be the centerpiece of one of the palm islands, The Palm Jumeirah.
Dubailand. Currently, the largest amusement park collection in the world is Walt Disney World
Resort in Orlando, which is also the largest single-site employer in the United states with
58,000 employees. Dubailand will be twice the size.
Dubailand will be built on 3 billion square feet (107 miles^2) at an estimated $20 billion price tag.
The site will include a purported 45 mega projects and 200 hundred other smaller projects.
]
Currently, the Walt Disney World Resort is the #1 tourist destination in the world. Once fully
completed, Dubailand will easily take over that title since it is expected to attract 200,000 visitors
daily
The Dubai Marina is an entirely man made development that will contain over 200 highrise
buildings when finished. It will be home to some of the tallest residential structures in the
world. The completed first phase of the project is shown. Most of the other high rise buildings
will be finished by 2009-2010.
Some of the tallest buildings in the world, such as Ocean Heights and The Princess Tower, which
will be the largest residential building in the world at over a 100 stories, will line the Dubai Marina.
The UAE Spaceport would be the first spaceport in the world if construction ever gets under way.
I'm not joking...
Some other crazy .. The Dubai Metro system, once completed, will become the largest fully
automated rail system in the world. The Dubai World Central International Airport will become
the largest airport in size when it is completed. It will also eventually become the busiest airport
in the world, based on passenger volume. There are more construction workers in Dubai than
actual citizens.
