The masterplan represents Al Ghurair Development’s largest and most ambitious project to date
Al Ghurair Development has announced plans for a large-scale transit-connected, mixed-use masterplan community in Al Jaddaf, Dubai, appointing internationally acclaimed practice Pelli Clarke & Partners as the lead masterplan design architect.
Spanning approximately one million square feet of land across Dubai Creek Harbour, the development will bring together residential, commercial, cultural, and hospitality spaces within a walkable, mixed-use district neighbouring the planned HSR Etihad Station and the Creek Metro.
The masterplan represents Al Ghurair Development’s largest and most ambitious project to date, and a significant step into district-scale development, according to a press statement.
The Al Jaddaf commission marks the practice’s first masterplan in Dubai, bringing their internationally proven approach to the city for the first time.
District scale work
“Pelli Clarke & Partners brings decades of experience in complex, district-scale work internationally. We are proud to collaborate with them on a project of this ambition and scale,” asserted Sultan Al Ghurair, CEO, Al Ghurair Development.
The practice is known for creating environments that feel cohesive and lived-in, where the relationship between buildings, public spaces, and the surrounding context is considered from the outset. At Al Jaddaf, this means responding to the Creek, the area’s evolving connectivity, and Al Ghurair Development’s vision for a neighbourhood that is vibrant, considered, and built to endure.
“We are privileged to be working alongside Al Ghurair Development on a project of this scale and significance,” concluded Gregg Jones, AIA, Partner at Pelli Clarke & Partners.
