"Ultimate Sporting Lifestyle" on Display at Cityscape Dubai.(Dubai Sports City ) - Middle East

Dubai Sports City, the world's first integrated city dedicated to sport, will be participating in this year's Cityscape Dubai (16th -18th October) to profile its leading residential properties and provide a clear insight into the 'ultimate sporting lifestyle' that the development will offer.

This is the fourth year that Dubai Sports City has exhibited at Cityscape, and the company has a strong track record of success at the event. In particular, Cityscape has proved to be an important platform to reach international property buyers and brokers, many of whom are excited by the concept, ambition and potential of Dubai Sports City.

Two flagship residential communities will be on display at this year's exhibition, the exclusive golf course villa community, Victory Heights - a project from the master developer of Dubai Sports City and Arcapita Bank - and Canal Residence West - a waterfront Riviera-style apartment offering under the sole direction of the Dubai Sports City master developer.

Visitors to the exhibition will also learn about the full range of enviable lifestyle advantages for homeowners of these two popular projects which include a comprehensive range of sporting, leisure and recreational facilities.

Victory Heights' homeowners will reside within and around The Dunes, a signature 72-par golf course designed by Ernie Els. Adjacent facilities include the Butch Harmon School of Golf, the first such golf academy outside the United States and the David Lloyd Tennis Academy with 15 world-class courts. Close by, the internationally-acclaimed Next Generation Clubs offers residents a wide range of quality sports, health and fitness facilities.

Residents of Canal Residence West will also be well-placed to take advantage of Dubai Sports City's vast sports and entertainment facilities, including four state-of-the-art stadia which will host a year-round calendar of exciting events.

Manchester United Soccer Schools, the ICC Global Cricket Academy and the WorldHockey Academy are also located close by as well as a good mix of essential community facilities such as international schools, medical facilities, emergency services, parks, playgrounds and hundreds of retail and dining outlets.

'Dubai Sports City is a thoughtfully master planned community, and we're investing a great deal in ensuring that every element of the modern city will appeal to its residents,' said U. Balasubramaniam, CEO, Dubai Sports City. 'In all, we are confident that Dubai Sports City will offer one of the most attractive lifestyle balances available anywhere in the world, reinforced by a high quality of life and by the quality of the residential developments themselves.'

Throughout the construction process, the Developers are working closely with Bureau Veritas, a globally-recognised consultant, to provide a guarantee of quality and comfort for both Victory Heights and Canal Residence West homeowners.

'When people buy a property, they typically see only the initial design and its final condition. Bureau Veritas is involved in projects like Victory Heights and Canal Residence West from the design stage through to the handover, to ensure quality and safety requirements are properly planned and implemented at every stage,' said Gaby Rached, Chief Executive for Dubai, Bureau Veritas.

The commitment to quality reflects Dubai Sports City's core philosophy, which is to work with 'best of breed' partners across its activities.

'Part of our approach is to engage the 'best of breed in business' in every aspect of our operations, and the involvement of Bureau Veritas in the design and construction stages of Victory Heights and Canal Residence West reflects that,' declared Mr. Balasubramaniam.

In addition to the commitment to quality, significant research and investment has been deployed to ensure that the right balance of 'soft factors' will be in place to enhance the lifestyle of those who live there. A positive atmosphere, a vibrant, thriving community and access to green open spaces and are all considered essential to creating the 'ultimate sporting lifestyle'.

'Victory Heights will offer a first class living environment and plenty of open space for families and residents. All the villas and community buildings will occupy less than 16% of the total Victory Heights development. The remaining 84% of space will comprise the golf course, public landscaping, parks, biking trails and roads systems,' declared Yasser Abdulla Alraee, General Manager, Victory Heights. Sales representatives for properties in Dubai Sports City will be available throughout Cityscape Dubai to provide a detailed overview. Dubai Sports City will be exhibiting on Stand 7G20, Hall 7, Cityscape Dubai, Dubai International Conventional and Exhibition Centre.
