📋 Tender Overview
Scope of Work:
Construction of Al Quoz Creative Zone.
Description:
The project aims to create a supportive ecosystem that eases the journey of creatives and entrepreneurs through all stages of the creative industry value chain - from design and implementation to distribution and marketing. On completion, the Zone will be one of the largest communities of its kind in the world - both in terms of total floor area and scale of creative activity.
The master plan will ensure the provision of 2,900 affordable residential units (that can house more than 8,000 people) for creatives and extensive public spaces designed for hosting events and activities. These public spaces will be highly interactive with unique entertainment activities and attractions located in outdoor spaces and along pathways equipped with entertainment and attractions, and public spaces for rest, recreation, social events, and artistic displays and attract nearly 33,000 visitors per day.
In close coordination with key stakeholders, preliminary plans have been drawn for technical infrastructure networks required for the smooth functioning of the Zone. The Al Quoz Creative Zone will facilitate easy and flexible mobility for pedestrians and a unique open-air ambience for community activities. According to Dubai Culture, the integrated community offers a cost-effective working and living environment for artists, professionals and entrepreneurs. The master plan was developed by Dubai Municipality after studying and benchmarking various leading local and international creative clusters and drawing from best practices and successful models that are a good fit for the Zone.
The development of the Zone will further boost the emirate’s position as a regional and global hub for creatives. Apart from providing an exceptional infrastructure, also committed to put in place a policy framework that will enable the creative industry to thrive. The implementation of the master plan will yet again demonstrate the spirit of partnership that has driven Dubai’s remarkable development over the past few decades.
The Phase One will see the infrastructure development works, including the first phase of flexible mobility, transportation integration, including linking Al Safa Metro Station and Al Quoz Bus Station to Al Quoz Creative Zone with pedestrian, bicycle and individual 4km transport paths, providing three transportation centres, a pedestrian and bicycle bridge above Al Manara Street, in addition to infrastructure networks. The Phase Two will see the development of public spaces and site co-ordination and Phase Three will see the placement of public art installations across the Zone.
