Dubai Relaxation Tip - Buy Properties In Dubai Near A Park

Pollution is not as much of a problem in Dubai as it is in most Asian countries, but the authorities are nonetheless making a colossal effort towards reducing it. 

To negate the forty-four tonne average per person emission (annually), many state-owned UAE properties companies are initiating environmentally friendly measures. Dubai Properties, for instance recently announced what is perhaps the grandest ecological project to be implemented by the Emirate, the Mohammed bin Rashid Gardens. 

The thirty seven billion pound garden complex will include financial, commercial and educational facilities coexisting with canals, ponds and parks that encourage and attract birds. Spread over an area of 20,250 acres, the complex sounds like a wonderful place for Dubai real estate investment. 

Late last year the Dubai Municipality’s Director of Planning promised plans of more then 70 parks and recreation spaces. While the work is slow, you can expect quite a lot near your favorite residential complex, easing up your decision to buy property in Dubai. 

If you are planning on buying properties in Dubai spaced near the eastern part of the city, you have Mushrif Park close by to take your tiny tot to. Lush lawns punctuated by fun sculptures of dinosaurs and colorful foliage make this a delightful place to settle near. 

With smoking banned in public spaces, UAE residential properties situated close to parks and other recreational areas are finding a greater impetus among families and non-smokers. So when planning to buy properties in Abu Dhabi or Dubai, make sure you engage a real estate consultant that is familiar with such localities.

U.A.E. Properties Go Green, Investors See Green

At the 14^th annual energy conference at the Emirates Centre for Strategic Studies and Researches in Dubai, Dr. Mohammed Gargash- the Foreign Affairs Minister of State stated that 40 MW of energy would be required to satisfy the U.A.E.’s local needs by 2020. 

Nuclear energy is just one of the solutions proposed to fulfill this demand.

The government, thankfully, is thinking of more alternatives towards curtailing its carbon emissions, one of them being in the U.A.E. properties development sector.

From the seven Emirates, U.A.E. properties for sale in Sharjah are the first to consider implementing green elements. By 2009, rules pertaining to water conservation and management, use of eco-friendly building materials and solar energy generation should take root in the U.A.E. properties sector.

Most residential and commercial property in Dubai consume nearly 70 percent of power. If the Dubai government too considers using environmentally friendlier construction methods and materials, then this level could see a significant reduction.

There are already scattered commercial and U.A.E. residential properties in Dubai making an honest attempt. The Traffic and Patrol Department in the Ministry of Interior’s attempts at controlling traffic congestion and curtailing accidents is viewed as a complementing contribution that would benefit Dubai’s green efforts in the long run.

It remains to be seen whether U.A.E. commercial properties in areas like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras al Khaimah and the like follow Sharjah’s lead and embrace green development. Buying properties in Dubai will no doubt be a more attractive proposition for real estate investors and buyers.

Some New Firsts And Sisterly Developments In The U.A.E.

Dr. Geoff Pound at Experiencing the Emirates claims the U.A.E. has been 'always besotted with world records' and cites the recent announcement to introduce internet domain names in Arabic as a prime example. We couldn't agree more with this.

In the housing and construction sector, this feeling has always been uninhibitedly displayed. Architectural marvels like the Burj Al Arab and the kilometer-long Nakheel Harbor & Tower have added their own appeal to this eminently U.A.E. properties fascination.

In light of Dubai's attempts to go green, the Middle East's largest photo-voltaic manufacturing plant simply adds to this growing list of 'firsts'. The plant is expected to generate energy from waste and if the Dubai Municipality division's plans are anything to go by then a rating system for buildings will spearhead the change, effectively inviting a new style of construction.

What better setting to make your Dubai property investment in!

Moves like these are necessary for a region where skyscrapers jostle with tourists and double up congestion and pollution levels. Already, campaigns instigated by the RTC and Dubai Police have led to a reduction in road fatalities.

If matters continue to improve in such a speedy manner than it will not only benefit Dubai real estate investment but also spread its reach to the Abu Dhabi properties sector. Indeed, this could even result in the latter Emirate being on par with a well-planned city like Brisbane ultimately becoming its sister city!

Buyers Of U.A.E. Properties Will See More Green

While commercial property in Dubai and U.A.E. residential properties command a higher position in the real estate market, there are other sections that simply cannot be overlooked.

Take parks for instance. Currently the Dubai infrastructure makes provisions for four types of parks- parks with ponds and lakes, public parks, community parks and neighborhood parks. Additionally, whether it be an amusement park for children, recreational complexes for adults or simply a garden to have a leisurely walk in, these public places are a must.

Any Dubai apartment for sale and even U.A.E. residential properties advertisements will feature a patch of green, which just goes on to show how much of an appeal these urban elements have.

In the light of this need, the impetus that is being given to investment in parks and similar public recreational zones lately by the government is highly commendable. According to a statement made by the Director of Public Parks Department in Abu Dhabi, Abdul Aziz Al Gureishi there are arrangements being made to provide free internet access for park visitors.

If you are planning to buy property in Dubai on the other hand, there is even more good news. Dawood Al Hajri, Director of the Planning Department for Dubai Municipality recently announced plans that include a whopping number of at least 70 parks and recreation areas!

A growing trend that is fast becoming a fixture in various media and culture is eco-living or ‘going green’. Referring to a lifestyle that is as minimally damaging to the surrounding environment as it can get, green living is a fabulous option that many are embracing.

One of the foremost emulators of green living is the housing and interiors sectors, which have generated a massive demand for a life that is environmentally conscious. The West is not alone though; such a concept has gained momentum in implementation even in U.A.E. properties and real estate.

In fact, a priority subject that is going to be addressed at the International Standards Organization (ISO) meet in Dubai City in October is going to be the effect of the U.A.E. construction business on the environment and ecology.

One of the existing measures for eco-friendly construction in Dubai however is a very important rating system known as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). Abu Dhabi properties are currently in the process of implementing such a building code.

The Mirdif City Center (a shopping center in Uptown Dubai) is presently the first shopping destination in Dubai that will be following the green code. Numerous U.A.E. commercial properties and investment property in Dubai are expected to follow suit.
