Sama Dubai, the international real estate and investment arm of Dubai Holding, has announced the appointment of Jassim Al Abdool as Project Leader for the ‘Creekfront' development, part of the ambitious ‘Khor Dubai' initiative.

The ‘Creekfront' development will feature low rise buildings in an adaptive use of traditional architecture, creating an ambience evocative of olden Dubai. The mixed-use real estate development comprises 5-star boutique hotels, exclusive waterfront residential vicinities, world class marinas, traditional retail outlets, culture and heritage museums, boutique offices, public plazas, and creek front walks.

The major revitalization initiative involves the integration of the Creek's five key adjacent historic districts, namely, Al Shindagha, Al Seef, Old Souk Walk, Baniyas and Deira Old Souk (previously known as Bander Taleb), linking them through 3 key principles of preserving heritage, promoting creativity and fostering diversity.
