The Dh2.293 billion 'Western City' mixed-use project and theme park at Dubailand was recently unveiled as part of a Dh7 billion development outlay in the region by the SG Holdings, a regional investment and development group.

 

Western City is a 7 million sq ft development with a built-up area of 1.982 million sq ft, according to Khaleej Times. The mixed-use integrated development will have 150 high-end residential villas and two luxury hotels offering 600 rooms. Commercial and community areas will also be developed.

 

The remainder of the land earmarked for a wild west-themed game park that features a rodeo, lakes, railway lines, an amphitheatre, stables and an extensive land-spread for horse riding.

 

"Western City is the first property development launched after the formation of SG Holdings. It complements our other projects in the UAE - the SG5 Towers, launched earlier in Dubailand, and other project to be announced soon," said Abdullah Ali Al Suwadani, Chairman and President, SG Holdings.

 

"As the largest entertainment destination in the Middle East, Dubailand will encourage tourism inflow to Dubai. Western City will leverage on this growth momentum, while adding value to the Dubailand project by offering an unparalleled theme park experience,'' he added.
