 Middle East Experience

The firm’s international experience

expands to the Middle East where we have
undertaken some of the most innovative
and exciting projects of the 21st century.
The landmark The World Development, a
challenging project located 2.4 miles off
the coast of Dubai, was master planned
by the firm. B&A is also responsible for
the design of many of these islands that
comprise this iconic archipelago.

Grand Central, spans an area of 200

hectares. This will be a signature project
located on Dubai’s waterfront that will
house the major ferry operation center for
travel to and from The World. It will contain
20,000 marina slips and offer residential as
well as retail and offices uses.

B&A also developed the master plan for

Dubai Maritime City, a mixed-use urban
waterfront project covering over 250
hectares of land which yielded some of
the highest land sale values in Dubai.

The firm also completed the master plan

for Mina Rashid, a large-scale urban
waterfront mixed-use project comprised
of over 400 hectares of reclaimed land
located next to Dubai’s city center.

B&A is very cognizant of the economic

underpinnings of land development
and waterfront projects in Dubai. The
understanding of the necessity to maximize
GFA sales, while simultaneously creating
an aesthetically pleasing and functional
community that adds value for its buyers
has been a driving force behind our
Dubai Maritime City
success in this dynamic region.

 The Universe The Universe is a series of island reclamation developments of 2465
Dubai, U.A.E. hectares in area, located off the Jumeirah coastline and situated
between Palm Jumeirah and Palm Deira, Mina Rashid and The
Client: Nakheel PJSC World. Following on the heels of the Palms, B&A’s The World,
DMC and Grand Central, and other Nakheel developments, this
Planning project’s size, scale and potential present unique and interesting
challenges as well as an opportunity to define a part of the future
of Dubai with an enormous impact on its waterfront and skyline.

The very nature of creating a 20+ kilometer-long group of islands

longitudinally placed along the coast of Dubai and linked by
causeways and roadways to the mainland is something that,
although man has never created by hand, nature has in many
locations. As with Miami Beach, many major waterfront cities are
framed by coastal islands and typically spawn a whole new city
almost independent of its mainland partner.
The Palm Promenade Bermello Ajamil & Partners, Inc. (B&A) developed the master plan
Dubai, U.A.E. and conceptual design for this large multiuse residential and
commercial property to be located just north of the Palm Jebel
Client: Nakheel PJSC Ali that will include condominiums, hotels, offices, waterfront
Size: 48 Hectares retail, and a cruise ship terminal.

Planning The project scope encompasses developing an urban design

plan for a newly created waterfront with high intensity office
and residential uses, multiple marinas and a yacht club facility.
The concept for this long and linear site orients the buildings in
such a way as to maximize views of the water on 3 sides and
access to the major marina facilities while reducing views to
the heavy industrial uses along the waterfront to the north. The
plan integrates a vehicular oriented circulation system with a
heavily landscaped pedestrian network to connect the various
waterfront activity centers.

Planning
Costa Baja Marina is currently under construction by B&A with
over 200 slips. Located in the tip of Baja California, Mexico the
project is associated with a resort development and a green
field site. This spectacular site with dessert vegetation located in
the Sea of Cortez, creates a very unique setting for a particular
type of boating which consist of large yachts and significant
charter sail boat operations. The marina is uniquely built into
separate components.
The first component is the creation of a marina basin by extending
a breakwater into the harbor and creating a protective basin for
the large mega-yachts. The second component is being done
by connecting that harbor with a man-made basin dug out of
dry land surrounded by future residential units. This basin will be
dug with 6-foot depths for yachts in the 40 to 50 foot range. The
marina will also include major dock master building, service and
repair area, fuel area and an exclusive 5-Star boutique hotel.
