Completion date: downtown Dubai.

In creating Festival Waterfront Centre as the

2007 vibrant, communal hub of Dubai Festival

City, Jerde continued the spirit of the overall

250 - 251 master plan in the architectural design. The

project’s key areas are organised in radiating,

arcing paths that recall ripples on the water.

Beginning at the waterfront, the first ring of

energy is Festival Marina, a 300-metre-wide

marina, which is comparable to high-end

Mediterranean marinas and offers 100 berths

for luxury yachts and other watercraft. Taking

full advantage of the creekside location, the

Marina is designed as a vibrant esplanade

surrounded by fine dining, shopping, and five-

star accommodations. The second ring is

the Waterfront Pavilions, a series of specialty

retail shops fronting Dubai Creek. The Pavilions

offer a high-end shopping experience. Next

2008 extends the existing Shires scheme at all levels

to create an additional two-level enclosed mall.

256 - 257 The interior of the Shires has also undergone

a significant refurbishment, which seamlessly

integrates the existing centre internally with the

new mall extension and introduces a much

higher level of sustainability. Many of the same

design principles and palette of materials used

in the Shires refurbishment were introduced in

the new extension, creating a wide covered

street, continuing the existing street pattern

and linking to the public realm and new city

square. Public art forms an integral part of the

scheme and they worked closely with PIPA

Leicester (Program for the Implementation of

Art) to commission artists to produce art in key

public spaces in and around the development.
