Cityscape Dubai 2007 is the largest business-to-business real estate investment and development event in the world being held at Dubai World Trade Centre between 16-18 October.
The Staff Villages - spread over 61 hectares each within Dubai Logistics City and DWC Residential City - will provide accommodation to a total of 76,000 DWC staff.
"Dubai World Central will revolutionise the way the real estate and property market functions in the region with offerings catering to a whole range of low and mid-income housing to premium lifestyle living," said HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Aviation Corporation - Dubai World Central.
"Already garnering regional and worldwide interest, the project is making history as very few real estate projects are aimed at the next few generations taking into consideration urban land development needs for the next 100 years."
More than 1,000 investors, developers, architects, consultants and other service based organisations feature at Cityscape Dubai 2007 and DWC will use this platform to further enhance and support the vision for residential and commercial property growth internationally.
Khalid bin Harib, CEO Real Estate, DWC said: "With an audience of over 45,000 regional and international investors, property developers, governmental and development authorities, leading architects, designers, consultants and senior professionals from more than 120 countries, DWC will showcase a phase 1 land area of 17.8 hectares of the two staff villages which will provide accommodation for around 15,000 staff members.
"The Staff Villages will cater to DWC staff in a uniquely desirable living environment with all necessary community facilities like health care centres, post office, a Juma mosque and two local mosques, amenities including sizeable open spaces like catering facility, TV lounges, shops, restaurants, theatres, groceries, barber shops, laundries and internet services."
Residential City Staff Village will consist of 10 buildings, each with 135 studios and 45 one-bedroom apartments as well as showrooms on the ground floor. The DLC Staff Village will be formed of 11 buildings with 164 studios and 54 one-bedroom apartments.

About Dubai World Central:
Dubai World Central (DWC) is a 140 square kilometre urban aviation community centred around the world's largest international airport. Currently being built 40 kilometres from the existing Dubai International Airport the project is almost twice the size of Hong Kong Island.
DWC creates a new benchmark in urban planning and destination living designed to support Dubai's aviation, tourism, commercial and logistics requirements until 2050 and represents one of the most important developments in the history of the United Arab Emirates.
Eventually home to 900,000 people, DWC will be true 'city-within-a-city' with all the amenities that make up a world-class residential destination.
DWC, with infrastructure costs estimated at US $33 billion, comprises six specialized clustered zones: Dubai World Central International Airport (JXB), Dubai Logistics City (DLC), DWC Commercial City, DWC Residential City, DWC Aviation City and DWC Golf City.
DWC is backed by the Government of Dubai and is chaired by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Aviation Corporation - Dubai World Central, Government of Dubai.
About Dubai World Central components:
JXB, when completed, will be the world's biggest passenger and cargo hub, with a capacity of 120 million passengers and more than 12 million tonnes of cargo annually. The airport will have six parallel runways and as many concourses with a 91 metre high control tower that will be an aviation landmark in the Middle East.
DLC will be part of the world's first truly integrated multi-modal logistics platform in a single-bonded free zone environment made up of DLC, JXB, Aviation City and Jebel Ali Port. It is designed as the region's unchallenged logistics hub catering to some two billion people throughout the Middle East, Indian Sub-continent, Africa and the CIS, all within three-to-four hours flying time from Dubai.

DWC Residential City will include a mix of five-ten storey mid-cost apartment blocks. Up to 250,000 people are expected to live in this 'city'. A special staff village will house blue-collar workers within high-quality accommodation.
DWC Golf City will feature two 18-hole golf courses, extensive practice facilities, driving ranges, putting greens, a luxury clubhouse with restaurants and a pro-shop. Up to 2,500 freehold homes will surround the courses. The resort will also feature a high-end boutique hotel.
