"Our vision is to create an integrated community where people can live, work, watch, learn, play and shop," said Khalid Al Zarooni, President, Dubai Sports City.

The combination of residential, commercial, retail, sporting, and entertainment options is a unique selling point for Dubai Sports City, and has allowed the master developer to successfully sell not only real estate but a unique lifestyle experience.

"We have designed Dubai Sports City with people in mind, and present residents with the unique opportunity to live and work in the same destination, freeing up time to spend with their families instead of commuting in Dubai's traffic which can be time consuming and stressful,"

added Zarooni.

Dubai Sports City's business community will be anchored by The Gateway, the first commercial property released by Dubai Sports City, and is anticipated to be among the most sought-after addresses within the entire Dubailand project.

The Gateway will have access to Emirates Road, providing local and international visitors with convenient access to all parts of Dubai including Jebel Ali waterfront, the historic quarter, and Dubailand. The city's airports, including the new Al Maktoum International Airport, as well as the downtown districts of Jebel Ali and Dubai are a short drive away.

The classic silver and black towers will be the icon of Dubai Sports City and the tallest structures within the entire development. Developers have recieved strong international interest with its world-class design and prime positioning.

Standing at the entry to the entire development, it will provide an ideal headquarters for businesses looking to position themselves for global growth," said U. Balasubramaniam, CEO, Dubai Sports City.

As the highest point within the mega-project, the high-rise towers will command spectacular views of the entire Dubai Sports City development, including the magnificent stadium district and The Els Club championship golf course.

With a total built-up area of 1,214,225 square feet and 44 floors of offices per tower, The Gateway will offer a range of key facilities, including over 1,000 underground parking spaces, a top floor high-end restaurant, health club and spa and a ground floor coffee shop and business centre.
