When you think of Dubai’s image, most people would see it as a luxurious holiday destination.  Environmentally conscious? Not so much.  This could all be about to change though as new plans under development within several well-known projects, and new initiatives to be applied to all new builds, will make the Emirate a more eco-friendly place to live and visit.

There are several projects in the pipeline right now, and several of the large family communities are being promoted as more environmentally friendly through more greenery.  Jumeirah Park and Jumeirah Village are two major developments by Nakheel, Dubai’s largest developer that will promote a more environmentally conscious way of life, with above average areas of plantation and greenery to reduce noise pollution, and recycling measures in place.  In fact, following on from this early effort, a new freehold community called the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Gardens, located conveniently near the Emirates Road and Al Khail Road, which will mix a high degree of greenery and waterways to promote the preservation of the Emirates’ beautiful scenery.  This is a bold and necessary move for the government, as the large amounts of construction since the start of the property boom have been viewed by many as damaging to the beauty of Dubai, and why it appeals to so many people as a great place to live.

The Dubai International Media Production Zone is another project that will promote a greener image for Dubai real estate.  While this development is specialised towards the Media sector, there is a selection of freehold apartments available within IMPZ that strongly promote eco-friendly living, right by the waterfront.  If you are concerned about the environment, and want to do your part to own a property that’s more aware of preserving Dubai, then ask about the environment impacts of projects you are interested in.  For eco-friendly commercial space too, there are a number of towers within Business Bay that will meet the criteria for saving the environment.  Iris Bay, a unique building shaped like an eye will use shutters to keep the building cool without the excessive use of air conditioning, while tall towers such as Lighthouse Tower and even the Burj Dubai tower will be cooled using melted ice waters from specific plants, to reduce the need for polluting air conditioners

With the brief by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum to make all new property built more environmentally viable, this has led to interesting and innovative projects such as the Time Residence, which is set to be a rotating tower that will generate its own power through turning.
