Dubai seems to be unaffected with the financial crisis issue the world is experiencing right now. Another project with an estimated cost of US$95 billion, which is the Jumeira Gardens, is now revealed. SOM Chicago designs the project, and it consists of mixed-used developments that incorporate low, medium, and high-density zones suitable for business, residence, retail leisure, and recreation, which in turn includes a hotel, commercial retail and entertainment space with a total of 800,000-900,000 square meters. The structure has the Park Gate, which is a complex of six mid-rise towers that faces each other to form a grand garden space and will eventually create a shaded microclimate, which is perfect for its natural dessert climate.
