DUBAI SPORTS CITY LLC.

Dubai Sports City embodies the passion of sport. 

Abdul Rahim Al Zarooni and Abdulrahman Falaknaz, the two forward-thinking partners behind the project, are pillars of the UAE business community with widespread interests and decades of experience across a wide range of commercial sectors, including real estate, construction, retail, and sports management. 

Their experience, coupled with a carefully chosen mix of residential, retail, land recreational facilities in this community creates a destination that is more than the sum of its parts.

Of the entire 4,645,152 m² of land area that makes up Dubai Sports City, the master developer, Dubai Sports City LLC, chose to retain and develop only two communities, the remaining plots being sold off to the private sector for medium-rise developments. The two projects it elected to develop itself are Victory Heights and Canal Residence, both of which were awarded to Diar Consult as lead consultant.

Canal Residence West is a collection of five residential apartment buildings which, as the name suggests, are arranged along a landscaped promenade overlooking a man-made canal. The five buildings contain a total of 987 apartments in a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units. Shared retail and recreational facilities are located on the ground and first floors.

Each of the 12 to 20 storey towers is designed in a theme reflecting the style of great canal and waterfront cities: Venice, Naples, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Dubai. The design challenge was to take the style of five geographically, climatically and culturally diverse cities and bring them together in a cohesive and coherent whole in a completely new context.
