Speaking on the occasion, Abdulla Lahej, Group CEO of Dubai Properties, said: “Today marks a significant milestone in the development of the Marasi Business Bay, which is testimony to our commitment of creating destinations that provide exceptional lifestyle experiences for residents and visitors. Located alongside the Dubai Water Canal, the new marina will leverage latest advances in construction and engineering, offering the city a new active urban lifestyle dimension and waterfront destination.”
