Signature Clubs International and Jafza have today signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for a major new club in the prestigious Jebel Ali Convention Centre, a twin-tower development under construction in the heart of Jebel Ali Free Zone.
The Jebel Ali Business Club will occupy two of the top floors of the seaward-facing tower and offer members a full range of dining, social, meeting and health facilities; a varied programme of activities and entertainment; and access rights and potential relationships through a global network of 250 clubs in more than 245 locations. The anticipated membership will include senior executives from the fast-growing business community of Jebel Ali Free Zone as well as nearby commercial developments including Dubai Investment Park and Dubai World Central. The Club will also operate a restaurant in the main tower podium that will also be open to non-members.
Commenting on the agreement, Ms Salma Hareb, CEO of Jafza and Economic Zones World said, “Jafza’s philosophy; the enterprise is at the heart of our development, we continue to provide live, work, play environment to our clients. Jafza’s business club core offerings include the provision of a full range of services to meet the changing needs of our business partners. The Club’s philosophy is ideally aligned with our aim to provide a ‘social heart’ to the free zone and provide world-class facilities for entertaining, networking and recreation for executives within the burgeoning Jebel Ali business community. ”
The new Convention Centre will be located beside the bridge which links Jebel Ali’s North Park and South Park, close to Sheikh Zayed Road. Signature Clubs’ extensive pre launch business research demonstrated that the rate of expansion within and adjacent to Jebel Ali Free Zone would make Jafza the ideal location for a new business club in the west corridor of Dubai.
“Signature Clubs have secured not only an ideal site for our second business club in the region, but a close working relationship with Jafza as well. This ‘fit’ in our objectives mirrors the approach we have followed successfully for the Capital Club at Dubai International Financial Centre, although each Club will have a unique personality and different facilities that are tailored to meet the needs of its members,” added Guy Guillemard, Chief Executive, Signature Clubs International.
