The Palm Deira has started work on the first phase of its Palm Deira Corniche, being developed at a cost of around Dh300 million.
The nine kilometre-long and 30-metre wide corniche will comprise a string of leisure facilities, parks and a marina when fully complete.
"Unique projects like the Palm Islands will boost the tourism industry in Dubai, and the corniche being developed will allow residents and visitors to enjoy enhanced lifestyle facilities," said Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Chairman of Dubai World and Nakheel Properties.
Nakheel Properties is the developers of Palm Deira.
"This project is in line with the strategic vision of Dubai, which places great emphasis on economic and social development, supported by world class infrastructure," he said.
The Palm Deira Corniche is being designed to attract families by offering large green open spaces, flower beds, water fountains and an advanced lighting system to create an atmosphere of relaxation, especially in the evening.
The corniche is being developed over an area of five million square metres, and forms 11 per cent of the total Palm Deira project. It will be developed in multiple phases, with each phase consisting of several stages.
The entire Phase I of the project extends over four kilometres along the old Deira corniche, and will be separated from it by a 170-metre wide, six-metre deep water channel. The two areas will be connected by a two-way passage for vehicles and pedestrians.
"We are now executing the first stage of Phase I, which is a 900-metre long strip facing the Hyatt Regency complex. This part will be completed by mid-December this year," Palm Deira Executive Director, Operations, Abdullah bin Sulayem said.
The massive Palm Deira development will consist of 24 islands in all, including the Deira Island, which will accommodate around 200,000 inhabitants out of a total of 1.1 million people who are expected to live on Palm Deira.
The Palm Deira Sales Centre, which is currently under construction, will occupy a central location on the corniche, and will be receiving visitors from the beginning of 2008, while bookings of properties on the Palm Deira will start shortly thereafter.
