This engagement was led by a member of our team in a prior role, prior to CXA Global. It is listed here as a reflection of the experience the team brings — not as a project CXA Global delivered as a firm.
About the project
Al Seef is a 1.8-kilometre waterfront heritage and leisure district along Dubai Creek, developed by Meraas and delivered across four phases from 2017. The 2.5-million-sq-ft destination blends a pedestrian-scale heritage village of traditional Arabic wind-tower architecture with a contemporary waterfront quarter containing retail, dining, galleries, and three hotels. It is the largest creek-front mixed-use promenade in the UAE.
