The site will “occupy the longest stretch of water¬front ever developed in Dubai” along the Jumeirah Beach front.
Work is set to start on the project in the third quarter of 2017 and will take four years to complete. “We are excited and honoured by the opportunity to introduce our brands in one of the world’s fastest-growing tourist destinations,” said Bill Hornbuckle, president of MGM Resorts. “This marks the first time we will offer multiple MGM luxury brands at a prime beachfront location.”
