Dubai Sports City (DSC), the world’s first integrated sports city, has released phase two of its signature Riviera-style real estate development - Canal Residence West - at Cityscape Abu Dhabi 2008.

Following the enormous success of the Mediterranean, Classic European, and Venetian inspired phases, Dubai Sports City will release the Arabian and Andalusian style residences which capture traditional Arabic and Moorish architecture, said an official spokesman.

Cityscape Abu Dhabi provides an ideal platform for buyers and investors to gain an exclusive preview of the latest editions to one of the most sought-after residential communities in the Middle East.

With DSC’s stadia infrastructure growing at a rapid pace, and the inauguration of the Els Club, a world-class 18-hole championship golf course designed by South African golf legend Ernie Els, demand for real estate in the area is on the rise.

The development has been attracting global attention with delegations from around the world visiting Dubai to inspect the site, a reflection of the international excitement the project is generating.

Set in the heart of DSC, Canal Residence West brings together a collection of five beautiful buildings offering studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments, as well as penthouses.

With views of the canal and the Els Club golf course, each building will offer a key range of facilities including children’s play area, outdoor landscaped BBQ area, swimming pool, and health club.

Residents will have quick access to a tree-lined promenade running the length of the canal, accommodating upscale cafes, restaurants and boutiques as well as sport and leisure activities.

“Our vision is to create a city and community that offers everything a resident or visitor could want, in terms of accommodation, facilities, recreation and entertainment. Canal Residence West exemplifies a lifestyle of healthy living in a diverse yet comfortable atmosphere,” said president, DSC, Khalid Al Zarooni.

DSC incorporates international schools, medical facilities, emergency services, parks, playgrounds, hotels and Arena Mall, the city’s largest retail destination offering 1.88 million square feet of retail space, making it the perfect community lifestyle.

Additional facilities include Next Generation Clubs, an international group of health clubs; globally-renowned sports academies (including Manchester United Soccer Schools); and access to state-of-the-art stadia and other world-class sports and entertainment venues. – TradeArabia News Service
