Designed to be a contemporary take on the typical London High Street (or Main Street, for those outside the UK), City Walk started out as a shopping and dining destination. The next phase of development expanded the concept even further while also adding in a residential component.
1. City Walk Dubai Overview
Main Street
Back in 2014, if you took a trip to City Walk, you would find an open-air shopping centre with a limited number of stores and restaurants clustered around a beautiful lake, adjoining some more restaurants and a supermarket lined up along the main road. It had an effect quite similar to walking down the main retail street in a small town and an atmosphere quite distinct from the bustling Downtown Dubai or Dubai Marina. This was the place you would go for a relaxed afternoon or evening out, browsing through stores, soaking in the sun and lounging in one of the cafes over a light meal.
A Slice of London in Dubai
The second phase of City Walk officially opened in 2016, adding in several more retail and dining outlets, as well as the City Walk Residences. While the expansion does include a more traditional covered mall, the ceiling is made of glass to allow in natural light and create the feeling of being outdoors. The original City Walk banked on familiarity with the presence of well-known brands and popular restaurants chain. City Walk 2 is much more experimental with several homegrown concepts among its retail offerings, and especially among the restaurants.
Key Attractions
Aside from the retail aspect, City Walk offers a unique array of experiences to enjoy. These include:
The Green Planet - The first bio-dome in the Middle East, this unique egg-shaped structure houses an indoor rainforest and is also home to over 3,000 varieties of plants and animals.
Hub Zero - An indoor theme park and video game arcade, this is the perfect mix of nostalgia and contemporary entertainment.
The Roxy Cinemas - A boutique moviegoing experience where you can enjoy the latest blockbusters in a relaxed setting, with the option of having meals delivered to your seat.
Rove City Walk - The hotel is still under construction, but Rove has already established a name for itself as a hospitality option tailor made for contemporary urban living. We can expect that Rove City Walk will match if not exceed the popularity of the other Rove hotels in the city.
The Residences
Located on the periphery of City Walk 2, the City Walk Residences are made up of low-rise apartment blocks. Each block contains a selection of one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments with sleek contemporary designs and open light-filled living areas.
Located between the famous Jumeirah district and Downtown Dubai community, City Walk benefits from easy access to some of Dubai’s most exciting lifestyle destinations. However, it is a major destination in itself, with everything you need only a few steps away from you.
