Dubai Creek Harbour at The Lagoons is a high-end residential and leisure destination being jointly developed by Emaar Properties and Dubai Holding. It will be a modern city with world-class amenities and infrastructure spread over an area of 1,482 acres (600ha).
The project will consist of six residential towers offering spectacular views of the harbour and Dubai skyline. It will also feature the world’s tallest twin towers, the Dubai Twin Towers that will be developed as a mixed-use complex.
The island district is being launched as part of the Mohammed bin Rashid City (MBR City) and has a masterplan larger than that of downtown Dubai. Seamlessly merging the architecture with the creek, the development promises to deliver an unmatched experience.
The project will be located close to Dubai International Airport and the 25-year-old Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. Billed as an ecologically responsible venture, it will protect the biodiversity of its location.
The developers launched the Dubai Creek Residences in October 2014 as the first project under the Dubai Creek Harbour at The Lagoons development. Creekside 18 Residences, the second project under the mega-development, was announced in September 2015.

The towers will house one, two and three-bedroom apartments along with additional podium level residences offering elite island accommodation. The apartments will feature floor-to-ceiling windows that allow the flow of natural light, as well as unrestricted views of the creek.
