What’s Great About Dubai Sports City? By Charmaine Smith At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

The Dubai Sports City, also referred to as the DSC, is situated within Dubai land. The imminent Arabian Ranches project is in the vicinity and so is the International Media Production Zone. The largest Chinese Goods market, Dragon Mart, is also in the neighborhood. The recently developed Emirates Road adjoins the northern end of the project, thereby making important locations easily accessible.

Amidst an area of five million square meters the Dubai Sports City is home to sports academies and stadiums, retail space, golf courses, residential apartments and villas, and malls dedicated to sports, amongst other things. With this year seeing a partial opening, sporting enthusiasts from all over the globe wait for the 2010 completion of the project.

DSC will have within it David Lloyd's Tennis Academy, the Butch Harmon School of Golf and the Manchester United Soccer School. The International Cricket Council’s London headquarters have now moved to the Dubai Sports City, and it is also to see the launch of the ICC Global Cricket Academy. The World Hockey Academy in collaboration with the International Hockey Federation is to provide professional training out of the specially designed hockey stadium.

Ernie Els, one of the world’s best golfers of today, has designed the Dunes, an 18-hole golf course. The cricket stadium, which can hold over 25,000 people, has seen the involvement of the International Cricket Council through the entire planning and execution phase, to make sure it complies with specifications required to hold international fixtures. The indoor stadium, designed for sports such as basketball, volleyball, netball, ice hockey and indoor hockey, can hold 10,000 people. This indoor stadium would also be used for staging live shows and concerts. The multipurpose outdoor stadium is designed for sports like football and rugby, as well as track-and-field events. An outdoor hockey stadium with a capacity to hold 5,000 people has also been designed. An Olympic size swimming pool is also part of the set up.

The residential aspect of the DSC is varied and widespread. It has homes along the waterfront, homes along a canal built using different cultures of architecture, high-rise apartment buildings, and for the golfing enthusiast, a community comprising of villas along the golf course. Centers for recreation, parks, jogging tracks, walkways for pedestrians, restaurants, a multiplex, restaurants, cafes and retail outlets, are all part of the infrastructure that is in place. As is the case with freehold properties across Dubai, the Dubai Sports City also has an eclectic mix of very expensive houses and houses that offer value for money.

Buying property in the Dubai Sport City is a very good option, whether you wish to stay there, run your business out of there, use the property as investment or use it as a holiday home. Situated in the heart of one of the world’s most attractive tourist destination, Dubai land, the DSC is close to the beach. The Dubai International Airport is only a short drive away, too. With so many things going for the Dubai Sports City, it would be wise to head this way.
