For Everyone saying that this project is not abandoned, let me explain a few things- I thought this video would be an interesting topic after seeing an article from Bloomberg talking about how the developer, The Meydan Group, was having financial trouble. You can read the article below. After more research, I found out that this was a massive project, and that some parts of it have not even been started yet. While the District One Apartments are still under construction, the megamall in the center is abandoned as the article explains below. I hope this clears up any confusion. www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-23/dubai-developer-said-to-plan-2-6-billion-debt-restructure-talks

They even have a light rail system in their shopping mall. Met with some of the techs that set up the system. Told me their biggest problem is the sand. The sand was so fine that it got into lots of machine parts and caused the system to jam or parts to ware out. At the end the solution was to hire migrant workers to clear the sand off the rail, doors and control panels before the system starts every morning.

subscribed immediately I watched this. such great quality video, it's hard to accept that you have just 787 subscribers today. It can only get better from now on.

I bought my apartment in this city in 2016, promised to be delivered in 2018, and as expected, up to today I don’t have my unit. No refund, no compensation, only waiting… And no matter how many times you visit the developer and the land department, no one follows rules or contract, such a pity for an incredible city like Dubai

Good luck Arkive, just subscribed 🙂👊🏻⭐️

Very accurate, thank you!

Great content. I just subscribed.

Who thought this was a The B1M channel video? 😜 Great production quality 💕❤

I subscribed to you because your video is short and on point. 👌

Never buy a property until it is completed with all legal clearances and completion certificate in hand

It's a good video! One nitpick, though: It is slightly inaccurate to call it "a new city next to Dubai". It is a city district IN Dubai, albeit a very self-contained one. But if you look at the map, most of Dubai is built that way: as self-contained districts surrounded by bigger roads, with few connections to their neighbouring districts. This "superblock" style of development happened because entire districts were sold to big developers at a time, with each developer retaining absolute control of what to build in their district. Most developers want residents and tourists to stay on their property and not stray too far, so they make their district as self-contained as possible with few ways to connect to other districts. They have connections to the highways to give general access to the area, but you usually need to drive for ten minutes to visit your neighbour who lives a couple hundred meters away on the other side of the highway. Forget walking there, the pedestrian infrastructure is beyond a joke. Even the area called "Downtown Dubai", with the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa, is just a particularly aggressively developed superblock by a single developer, Emaar. It does not serve as the downtown to the city at all. Not any more than any of the other districts that attempt to be a downtown, at least. In short, the whole city is a patchwork quilt of independent projects with no coherent cityscape at all. Many of these superblocks were also abandoned in the middle of construction, or had their plans scaled back drastically. Dubai is a city that builds a lot of fancy stuff, but it tends to promise ten times more than it actually builds. For instance, there have been about two dozen serious proposals to build towers taller than 400 meters in the city, after the financial crisis. *Every single one* of them has stranded. Dubai currently has three skyscrapers taller than 400 meters, but all of them began construction long before the crash of 2007. The twenty-odd rest have all failed, and the list keeps getting longer every year as new projects are announced, fail to drum up sufficient investment, and then abandoned.

Very good that all me gustan todos los vídeos muchas gracias che

Great content. New subbi

love your content!

This channel should have lots more subscribers

Quite informative

Worked as an IT in that project for the main contractor! Wish it starts again 😪

Dubai keeps making car centric neighborhoods even tho they have plans to have sustainable transport for 2030

Dubai's climate isn't the greatest for projects like this

You deserve 100k subs

I subscribed.

it's awesome, but they probably need to think beyond just tourism when planning to build new cities

Maybe it would be better to focus on greening the desert & build lot of desalination plants (& concerning research facilities) to ensure food & water security esp in absence of oil revenue in the future. Dubai has achieved a lot of tourism potential already, so now more needs to be done to have the basic needs of locals safeguarded for the coming times!

Yeah. I was your 1000 subscriber.

Must say, the land itself has zero inherent attractiveness. So until they've built attractions, there looks to be little drawing prospective buyers in.

Hey buddy, i want to eagerly know that how you research your videos and how you write your scipts. Every video you make is totally awesome please tell me how you research and write scripts please please please reply

So, how is it going with the "abandoned" city? Its almost ready and its beautiful.

District One Apartments got new contractor and construction is going very well. you can check the latest update by dld.

The world economy has faced so many challenges in the last few years that caused many delays ad crisis. To Dubai’s credit they have always managed to find solutions despite the challenges and delays as they achieved so many landmarks beyond any other city in the world I have faith in Dubai’s ability to find solutions as they have for so many years despite the negative cretics and the hard world economy Dubai has achieved what no other city even dreams

I visited the construction site of the mall and there are small movements is happening there and if it continued like that it’s more likely to finish after 2025 but sadly there are no plans for now to start building the residential tower

Living in Sobha Hartland next to it. Amazing they are still selling apartments as lagoon facing when there is not and maybe never will be a lagoon.

the projects become a reality however. if the cities stay empty ...... a big problem with the new big cities in the world is that you cant just force a huge population to move in bc you build something. this takes time. and managing these cities is a monstrous task.

Wondering who is gonna buy these properties since every Emirates has home , are they targeting foreigners

You should make a video about Khazar Islands in Azerbaijan. It's similar to this one, just much worse.

UAE is good at starting mega projects that turn out to be a mirage. They are just after the records.

That's why you have to take on projects sections at a time. Build and sell one section then build and sell another section. Going too big too fast is a recipe for disaster for any business. Live and learn I guess.

I thought you presented this very optimistically. I would consider this all folly.

I have ben cycling the Meydan loop almost 3 times each week for the past 3 years and indeed, the mall carcasses has not seen any progress. The completed villas look nice but cut off from the city by a main highway and no stores around. Just a collection of luxurious cages accessible by car only ( or bike for whoever wants to risk ones life on Dubai streets). With more life around it, it could indeed be a nice setting. However, there, just like for most of Dubai, it is designed in a XX century logic and represents pretty much the pinacle of the past century mindset. Not a XXI century one.

Azizi Rivera project supposed to be completed in 2019. However, this project is still showing 80% completion for the last eight months for phase 1. They keep promising hangover from quarter to quarter extensions. Please don’t get trapped in early payment deal office.

Guess with this project Dubai could step into future, as Long as it’s providing eco Standards, sustainability,sports, leisure , tranquil spots and holiday feeling . This what is missing when Dubai is showing of its wealth and steel lifestyle … people of tomorrow wanna life in natural environments ✌️

Do one about Trinidad and Tobago

Do one about Port of Spain Trinidad and Tobago

The problem is who wants to live in Dubai?

Used to live in Dubai, and drove past Meyden One multiple times. It just seems like a quiet little cul-de-sac area at best. This project will not be completed. Dubai have abandoned so many, much smaller projects (just drive along Sheikh Zayed Road, multiple half complete buildings have stood there for years), including the Dubai Pearl, on the base of the Palm. No way would they commit to completing Meydan One until it is guaranteed demand will return... which will not. The dizzy heydays of the past have gone.

Oil at $ 100+ should generate plenty of surplus in the Gulf. But how much will come to the UAE and how much remain or go into Saudi ?

Dubai’s project is on track. I’m a part of it.

Nothing can stop us, all the way up.

The mall is on hold not cancelled District one (villas) continues to be built Sobha Hartland (villas, apartments and two schools) continues to be built Azizi riviera (apartments) continues to be built Your outline of Riviera is Hartland and Riviera combined. Between the two will be the new canal

Sorry to see the plight of the plans.

THATS VERY NICE ONLY TO FAIL, SAD,,,

Real Talk

It’s not a new city, it’s a part of Dubai. And it’s not abandoned, people live there and it’s looking stunning 👌

District one which is by Maydan and now naheel who built the palm and other big communities merged to Maydan and taking over the projects there, Covid as well somehow effected to the projects in Dubai! However, after expo since Ruler of. Dubai Shaik Muhammad Bin Rashid named this city and will complete it! Dubai has earned a lot from the 2021 and will be investing soon to the mega project and finish it by 2024

Dubai’s strategy ; build it and they come and if you run out of money borrow from Abu Dhabi and if that doesn’t work either abandon or pray EnshAllah

I love you God bless you

Dubai is cool city 💪

More rubbish. Anyone who ever bet against Dubai... lost. I've lived here 3 years and know a thing or 2 about it. These guys don't quit. ""Late"" does not mean abandoned.... This emirate built itself from the dust. They will finish this and much more.... I remember the stories in 09 and 2010. The amount of media jumping on the bandwagon of ""It's all over"" You don't hear them now. Normally I wouldn't bother myself commenting but seriously, shut your negative mouth. This city is a weaving tapestry in all directions, cultural, business, industry, building... it goes on. And it will.

This project looks better than dubai city

The project is very big

Oh and the entire development is called Mohammed Bin Rashid City or MBR for short

Is this a college project video?

The problem with Dubai is oversupply of housing with low demand. At the same time the pricing is equivalent to London pricing without any comparison at all!! I remember walking in the Dubai Marina where I was living during the night and checking all the highrises where the majority of them were dark showing no proof of inhabitants inside. That proves the real picture behind the fancy buildings that got even worse with Covid where many expats moved back to their countries. My Prediction??Pain!!!

Building in Dubai is very difficult. Most developers can’t meet government deadlines and if you don’t get it corrected in a timely manner, the government takes over your property and project. It’s basically a way the Dubai government takes what they want. Good way to launder money.

expo 2020 is the last chance to recover some money, after that Dubai future is uncertain !

The rulers of Dubai have always been visionaries. Dubai always dreams big!

Its not abandon..only taking time to finish.. District one is already an active residential..All the mega project needs fund and there are many factors affecting its delay.. but this is not abandon..

❤

Those are private investors not government related, the investors show the plan and gives the government a percentage in profit after completing, the government just gives approval on the project and sells the property needed to that investor thats it so don’t blame dubai for someone’s else’s failure, besides that look at the rest of dubai and its facilities and compare it to other countries you’ll see how better of a city it is then.

the CO2 footprint of Dubai is huge !

Hi guys, someone knows when the residences of District One will be completed? They stopped last June and they never restarted the construction. We paid 55% to have nothing?

How does dubai have a city when it is a city?

So how many fleets of poop trucks will they need to service this city?

do they include the sewage system for this ir are they using trucks? lol

here we go again ....people said same thing about down town burj khalifa

With global travel what it is now do they seriously think this is a sensible idea?

Their Estimations team probably miscalculated.

Seems like Dubai loves the word "The Most in the World" for everything huh

I'm definitely gonna come and visit Dubai, It's a beautiful city that is built from dessert.

Dubai the king of tackiness

My observation is that there are two "Ts" in TwenTy.

Nagpaparagibo kaya nin arog kaini imbes na itao na lang sa mga nangangaipo ang ginastos. Mayo man mangyayaring magayon maski magparagibo kaini.

Is this project halted or abondoned

Water, water and water! Where does it come from?

Was it really abandoned or just placed on pause?

What's the point of building all these malls and when you go the high end store won't allow tourists to buy anything. All they say is you have to be a resident so many co.plain and don't want to go. Chanel, Hermès etc won't sell you product so why do they insist on building "the biggest mall" or the most luxurious mall and half the stores are off limits for visitors.

So many ABANDONE project in dubai From The Palm Jebel Ali, Dubai Creek Tower And many more

Dubai is now learning things like " Impossible"

I don't know why developers are trying to make more high price luxury housing where there's barely a population or a demand for that many

Being developed is being a green city not heartless and sinfully built like this city.

I love Dubai for how crazy it is. But man is it a messy city full of independent projects that don't connect to each other in terms of the city planning as a whole. This city is truly just a showcase of architecture. Not a true city with actual city planning done to it. Even the skyline is all over the place; you look at it from a distance and you are like "Where the f*ck is the center of the city??". So yeah. Love Dubai, but it's got so many issues it's totally understandable why so many city planners give it a lot of hate lol.

I pray who ever sees this be successful in life ❤️

Dubai's version of "Potemkin's villages"!

To me, this is just a big shopping mall...like the rest of Dubai. Shopping malls surrounded by American style suburbs *eXhiLaRaTinG!*

Prodigal leadership.

One issue with Dubai is that they focused so much on building large developments with complete disregard to the housing crisis faced by citizens there, that money could have we to house its people before importing wealthy immigrants to live there and now the developments stand empty.

HOW CAN SUCH A BIG PROJECT COMPLETED WITHIN 5 YEARS ❓❓ FASTER COMPLETION MEANS.....SHODDY WORKMANSHIP AND UNSTEADY FOUNDATION.....NOT A WISE OUTCOME ❗❗ WHY IS DUBAI DISPLAYING VERY OBSESSIVE AND IMPULSIVE DISPLAY OF SHOWMANSHIP ❓❓ NOBODY IS COMPETING WITH HER......YET DUBAI IS A CITY WITH OBSESSIVE MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM ❗❗

"Dubai project "*****" - My foot!

A lot of false information. There are other projects in this community other than azizi, and some of them are completed. The footage you’re showing is District one apartment not azizi.
