Primarily tailored to the residents of the financial district, South Zone will focus on the community within DIFC and feature family amenities that help foster the community-living experience. Visitors can experience kids’ edutainment and leisure activities, or enjoy family-friendly dining areas.
Providing the ideal platform for Dubai’s art and culture scene, Gate Avenue at DIFC will host a series of art and design installations, live music performances, visual activations and festivals – ensuring a whole new experience at every visit.
Unparalleled Connectivity
Gate Avenue at DIFC will link a network of residential and commercial buildings across the 110-acre financial district. Visitors and residents will be able to enjoy a leisurely walk across the refreshing walkway on the Promenade Level, or through the beautifully-designed air-conditioned avenue that bridges the district.
In addition, the development will bring together a diverse, multicultural community, as well as leading retail brands, culinary concepts and art events.
The central location, in the heart of Dubai, will allow visitors ease of access by public transport – supported by a convenient link to the Financial Centre metro station – or by car. The development will provide additional parking spaces around Gate Avenue at DIFC, to accommodate high volumes of visitors to the district.
Central to the Promenade Level will be an emblematic mosque, a beacon of modern Islamic design that will host a total of 500 worshippers daily and for Friday prayers.
Distinctive Architectural Design
An integration of aesthetics and functionality, lush greenery will adorn the facades of niche retail outlets located along the approximately 1km Promenade Level pathway.
The unique parkland setting of the Promenade Level will also reflect a rising crescendo of energy levels – from the premium, sophisticated vibe of the North Zone to the vibrant, social setting of the Central Zone, through to the high-tempo, family-friendly environment of the South Zone.
Miniature Gates, built in the image of the iconic Gate Building will be located along the walkway, framing unique aspects of the Dubai skyline and serving as a canvas for digital projections.
With construction expected to begin this year and set for completion by the end of 2017, Gate Avenue at DIFC is set to become the much sought-after destination for businesses, professionals, residents and visitors.
