Known as Jumeirah Park, the project will be adjacent to Jumeirah Islands. It involves the construction of 2,000

villas ranging in size from three

to five bedrooms, a central retail centre and municipal

buildings.

Spread over 3.2 square kilometres, construction will

be phased with the first villas ready by 2009.

Beirut-based Dar al-Handasah (Shair & Partners) is the consultant; US-based EDSA prepared the masterplan; the local Al-Khatib Cracknell (AKC) is the landscape consultant; and Australias Bovis Lend Lease is the project manager.

Dubai-based Palm Water

will build a sewage treatment plant (STP) to serve Jumeirah Park.

The proposed plant will

have capacity of at least 150,000 cubic metres a day and will also

serve Nakheels Jumeirah Golf Estates, Jumeirah Village and Jumeirah Islands developments. The local office of KEO International Consultants is the consultant.
