DIP spends Dh4bn to build world-class infrastructure

Dubai Investments Park, DIP, has spent over Dh4 billion in the last 17 years to build and elevate its infrastructure to world-class standards.
DIP now offers 140 kilometres of internal road networks, highly-sustainable power and water supply with DEWA, a well-connected telecommunications network meeting the latest global standards, district cooling services across the entire business park, and 130 kilometres of fresh water supply networks for irrigation and fire-fighting.
The infrastructural growth within DIP continues to transform the business park into a self-contained city-within-a-city. This perfectly complements DIP's strategic location and proximity to Jebel Ali Port, Al Maktoum International Airport, business districts and arterial roads, making it one of the most sought-after developments for tenants and businesses.
Omar Al Mesmar, General Manager of DIP, said, "Since it was conceptualised, we saw DIP as one of the best planned and operated developments in the region. With an integral population of 90,000 people, about 25,000 people driving in an out every day for work, six schools catering to over 5,700 students, 225 plots accommodating over 65,000 labourers, we are a city-within-a-city, and proud to offer quality infrastructure to our tenants and businesses." He added, "Not only for the residents, but our world-class infrastructure and road network enables connectivity to the regional and international transport linkages resulting in speedy access to potential markets in the neighbouring emirates and the wider region, which makes the DIP an ideal investment destination for local and international businesses." The infrastructure also includes well-connected public transport and day-to-day necessities such as supermarkets, fuel station, shopping centres, ATMs, mosques and recreational options. Apart from this, DIP also offers other essential services including medical centres, educational institutions, and hotels and furnished apartments catering for different market segments for both business and leisure travellers.
