Shaikh Mohammed unveiled the memorial plaque of the promising urban, mixed-use, leisure and sports development which spans more than 54 million square feet of prime freehold land with District One alone stretching 4 million square feet. Shaikh Mohammed viewed the mega model of the development at the sale centre where he was briefed by Saeed Humaid Al Tayer, Meydan Group Chairman and CEO, owner and developer of the project, about the City which he said has 600 hectares of open and green space of city parkland, waterways, woodlands, water park, the largest crystal lagoon body of water in the world with 7km of stunning lagoons and 14 km man-made beaches, alongside retail zones, leisure and sports attractions.
