To provide added convenience, the ample underground parking will offer 1,800 bays that are accessible through strategically located entry points.
Saleh Al Geziry, Vice President, Retail Marketing, Promotions and Recreation at Meraas commented: “We are delighted that CITY WALK has emerged as one of Dubai’s favourite destinations following its launch in 2013. This destination was conceived to articulate our vision to shape a must-visit hub, where visitors can experience a slice of urban sophistication. Bringing this vision to life, the new components will invite residents and visitors to come along and enjoy the enchantment of one of Dubai’s first heritage districts that seamlessly exudes the energy of Dubai’s vibrant future.”
