MEYDAN Sobha Announces an Exclusive Four-Day Preview of District One in the Indian Market

19th – 20th July in Mumbai and 21st – 22nd July in Delhi

Dubai 17th of July 2013 – Meydan Sobha FZ LLC, the joint venture between Meydan group and Sobha Group, has announced an exclusive four-day preview in Mumbai and Delhi, India to showcase Mohammed Bin Rashid City - District One.
Mohammed Bin Rashid City-District One offers 1,500 premium luxury villas surrounded by 2.4 million square meters of city parklands, waterways, woodlands, and open spaces, creating what is without question, one of the lowest-density residential environments in any major international city.

The location of District One is unique, as it is perfectly positioned in close proximity to Dubai’s world renowned landmarks, making it a one of a kind destination. It is only a 4 minute drive (2-3 km) from the development to Burj Khalifa, the tallest tower in the world. Al Khail road provides easy access to the Dubai International Financial Centre and the Dubai International airport, while the facilities at the heart of Meydan allows you to experience the World’s finest equestrian race course and a 9-hole golf course.

“For more than three decades, Sobha Group has been developing and constructing lifestyle destinations and our partnership with Meydan enables us to deliver that expertise, choice and quality to an entirely new community,” said Mr. PNC Menon, Chairman of Sobha Group. “Together, Sobha and Meydan aim to develop District One into one of the world’s prime residential locations, delivering a new, vibrant ‘green’ heart for this city.”

This unique development offers different attraction points and amenities including a central island offering a recreational activity space of 600,000 square metres with an equestrian club, amphitheaters and a commercial-sized water park. Also, District One will be the home to the largest man made lagoon in the world within a residential community, spread over almost 90 acres and ringed by a 7 kilometer boardwalk and beaches. In addition the project will offer a retail zone, multiple leisure activities and an array of restaurants, waterfront cafes, lively bistros, nightlife options, theatres and cinemas.
