About Maritime City
Dubai Maritime City (DMC) is a world class maritime service facility and industrial business zone between Port Rashid and Dubai Dry Docks. It is a maritime-focused commercial and industrial park which extends to 2.3 million square metres on a man-made peninsula.
DMC, which provides alternative Free Zone land to the Jebel Ali Free Zone which is already highly occupied, comprises an industrial and a commercial area.
The Industrial Precinct consists of marine services primarily dealing with ship lifts, ship repair plots, warehouses and workshops, as well as supporting retail and showrooms. By November 2021 the occupancy rate in the district had reached 82 percent with 299 business partners.
The Commercial District is a mixed-use area planned to consist of retail, residential, office towers and a promenade.
History and development
The project was launched in 2004 and work began on reclaiming the land to create the peninsula.
From 2009 to 2011 the project was put on hold as a result of the global financial crisis, but work resumed in 2012. A year later Damac Properties announced plans to transform a plot of land on the seafront at Dubai Maritime City into a high-rise luxury tower of serviced hotel residences.
In 2014 Deyaar announced plans to build a new beachfront project in Dubai Maritime City, and in 2015 Omniyat broke ground on its 48-storey, Dh600 million Anwa tower.
