Dubai Investment Properties (DIP), one of the leading real estate developers in UAE, has announced the launch of its exclusive multi-million ‘Sunset’ mixed-use development project in Dubai.

The signature ‘Sunset’ development will include a high-end luxury shopping mall, boutique offices and lavish residential apartments in the heart of Dubai, along the beach road in the upscale Jumeira 3 neighbourhood and stretching out into the waters of the Arabian Gulf, said a company official.

With the launch of Sunset, Dubai Investment Properties plans to set a new parameter in luxury retail experience for customers looking to buy high-end international brands and become the most prestigious address for lifestyle seekers in Dubai, observed Francois Faure, executive director, DIP.

'Sunset will be a unique development combining the best in architecture and the latest ‘green’ technology initiatives,' he remarked.

'It will be a real piece of art, where sophisticated, intellectual and brand-conscious customers can indulge their tastes for opulence and high living, with exclusive facilities and services,' Faure opined.

According to him, Sunset will set new standards in shopping in Dubai and will become the preferred venue for customers, who appreciate discretion, exclusive service and an ambience of elegance and class.

Sunset Mall will host over 97 outlets with a strong retail mix, including new high-end retail store concepts as well as international boutique brands.

The mall will also offer customers VIP services and fine dining experiences with gourmet food restaurants, all of which will offer panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf.

Sunset will feature engaging architecture designed to showcase the best of international and local designers.

Arkiteknik International, the architects for this development, have combined water, glass and steel at the Sunset Mall to offer retailers and guests an experience like never before.

The interior of the Mall will feature the latest innovations in LCD and LED technology, offering visual effects not seen anywhere else in the city.

“Sunset Mall will go beyond just providing aesthetic value for its special clientele. The building will be one of the ‘greener’ shopping centres in the city, with the glass front being specifically designed to divert heat and help conserve energy by reducing the load on the airconditioners,” explains Mohammed Ahmed, general manager of DIP.

Sunset residential complex will include three levels of lavish terraced apartments overlooking the sea.

Customers will have a choice of one, two or three bedroom units, in buildings equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, which includes a gym, health club and swimming pools.

Sunset Mall will provide a unique and exclusive shopping environment for affluent customers and fashion connoisseurs of Dubai.

'The Mall will feature haute couture artists, premium jewellery houses, world-renowned watches and accessories, and established high-end international brands,' DIP marketing manager Ani Vladi said.

'When completed, Sunset Mall will become the meeting point of affluence, prestige and luxury lifestyle,' she pointed out.

Sunset will be the newest addition to DIP’s string of successes and architectural masterpieces, which include the Twin Towers (the most photographed building in Dubai), Dubai Marine Beach Resort, Palm Strip Shopping Mall, Flora Creek Hotel, Le Meridien Residence, to name but a few iconic landmarks, gracing Dubai skyline.

The Sunset mixed-use development is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2009.-TradeArabia News Service
